• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest UNLESS

• acted on by a balanced force.

• acted on by an unbalanced force.

A sports car speeds up much faster than a tow truck when a traffic light turns from red to green. Which law is this?

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newtons 3rd Law of Motion

An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, or an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

The greater the mass of an object being moved, the greater amount of force needed to move the object.

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
