Forces of Motion Quiz

Patrick is pushing a heavy box across the room. Despite his efforts, the box doesn't move. This scenario is an example of which law, also known as Newton's First Law of Motion?

• The Law of Gravity

• The Law of Inertia

• The Law of Acceleration

• The Law of Friction

Michael pushes a heavy box across the room, exerting a force on it. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, what is the action-reaction pair in this scenario?

• The action-reaction pair is when Michael exerts a force on the box, the box exerts a force in the same direction on Michael.

• The action-reaction pair is when Michael exerts a force on the box, the box exerts a force with a different magnitude on Michael.

• The action-reaction pair is when Michael exerts a force on the box, the box exerts an equal and opposite force on Michael.

Emma, Ethan, and Maya are playing with a toy car. They notice that when they push the car, it eventually stops. What is the force that opposes the car's motion, causing it to stop?

Charlotte, Daniel, and Michael are playing a game of soccer. Daniel kicks the ball and it continues to move even after he has stopped pushing it. What is this tendency of the ball to resist a change in its motion called?

• momentum

• velocity

• friction

• inertia

Hannah, Aiden, and Benjamin are in a physics class. Their teacher asks them, 'What is the SI unit of force that we use when we talk about the force applied to push a car or pull a door?'.

• joule

• newton (N)

• kilogram

• meter

Olivia is studying physics and she comes across a problem where she needs to calculate the force exerted by Henry while pushing a box. If she knows the mass of the box and the acceleration, what formula should she use according to Newton's Second Law of Motion?

• F = mv

• F = m/a

• F = a/m

• F = ma

Aiden, Ethan, and Elijah are conducting an experiment. They notice that it's harder to push a heavy box than a light one. What does this observation tell them about the relationship between mass and inertia?

• Inertia decreases as mass increases

• Inertia increases as mass increases

• Mass has no effect on inertia

• Mass and inertia are inversely proportional
