Newton's 1st Law of Motion: Activity 1

What is Newton's First Law known as? The Law of

• Friction
• Mass
• Inertia
• Gravity

What kind(s) of objects have inertia?

• all objects with mass
• only objects at rest
• only objects in motion
• only objects whose motion is being changed

An object in motion will stay in what kind of motion as long as the net forces acting on it are zero?

• slowing motion in a straight line
• accelerating motion in a straight line
• constant motion in a straight line
• constant motion in an unpredictable direction

What is Newton's First Law

• F=ma
• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
• An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion. 
• Friction 

After a cannonball is fired into frictionless space, the amount of force needed to keep it going equals

• twice the force with which it was fired
• the same amount of force with which it was fired
• 1/2 the force with which it was fired
• zero, since no force is requires to keep it moving.

A resistance to a change in motion is 

• Acceleration
• Inertia
• Gravity
• Velocity

The inertia of an object depends on its

• mass
• speed
• velocity
• direction
