Newton's laws review

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

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. 

What is inertia?

• the force that opposes motion
• the force of attraction between 2 objects
• an object's tendency to stay in motion or to stay at rest
• a change in an object's speed and/or direction

According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will

• remain in motion.
• eventually come to a stop.
• change its momentum.
• remain at rest

Which of the following is the best example of Newton's First Law of Motion?

• Jessica's body flies forward after she hits the brakes

• Jessica drives a car

• Jessica is at a road crossing

• Jessica is sleeping

If I slowly roll a ball down the hallway, why does it eventually stop?

• Because of Newton's First Law
• Friction and Air Resistance
• Inertia
• It wouldn't stop, it would keep going until it hits a wwall.

Newton’s 3^rd Law of motion states that any action will have a(n) ________and ______reaction

• Equal and similar

• Equal and different

• Equal and opposite

• Greater and opposite

If the person is pushing backwards with the paddle, why do they move forward?

• The person will actually move backwards, they need to paddle the other way

• The water pushes back with an equal and opposite force

• The person is pushing harder than the water

• The water pushes back with a greater force than the person
