When and where was Isaac Newton born?

• England in 1642
• France in 1642
• France in 1742
• England in 1742

What was Isaac Newton's greatest discovery?

• The law of thermodynamics
• The law of motion
• The law of gravity
• The law of relativity

What did Newton see fall from a tree that helped him discover the law of gravity?

• An apple
• A banana
• A pear
• A peach

Why didn't the moon fly off into space in a straight line?

• Because of the force of gravity
• Because of the force of magnetism
• Because of the force of electricity
• Because of the force of wind

What did Newton call the force that explained the movements of heavenly bodies?

• Gravity
• Magnetism
• Wind
• Electricity

What is the difference between the force of gravity on the moon and on an apple?

• The moon is far away, so the force is weaker
• The apple is closer, so the force is stronger
• The apple is far away, so the force is weaker
• The moon is closer, so the force is stronger

What did Newton's laws of motion explain?

• Why the planets moved around the sun
• Why the moon traveled around Earth
• Why an apple falls to the ground
• All of the above

What did Newton's laws of motion describe?

• Four laws
• Six laws
• Three laws
• Five laws

What did Newton's laws provide an explanation for?

• Why the planets moved around the sun
• Why the moon traveled around Earth
• Why an apple falls to the ground
• All of the above

What did Newton's laws dramatically change?

• People's view of the universe
• People's view of the moon
• People's view of the Earth
• People's view of the sun
