Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz

What did Sir Isaac Newton describe in his Laws of Motion?

• 3 laws that relate speed to motion

• 3 laws that relate distance to motion

• 3 laws that relate energy to motion

• 3 laws that relate forces to motion

What is friction?

• A force that opposes motion between 2 objects that are touching

• A force that accelerates motion between 2 objects

• A force that creates motion between 2 objects

• A force that stops motion between 2 objects

What is inertia?

• Tendency of all objects to stay at rest or in motion

• Tendency of all objects to shrink

• Tendency of all objects to change direction

• Tendency of all objects to stop moving

What is mass?

• The speed of an object

• The force of an object

• The amount of matter an object is made of

• The direction of an object

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion also known as?

• Law of Acceleration

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Gravity

• Law of Friction

According to Newton's 1st Law of Motion, what happens to an object at rest?

• Moves at constant speed

• Moves in a circular path

• Remains at rest

• Moves in a zigzag path

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

• A person wearing a seat belt in a car

• A person riding a bicycle

• A person running on a treadmill

• A person jumping on a trampoline

What does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion state?

• The acceleration of an object depends on the distance traveled by the object

• The acceleration of an object depends on the speed of the object

• The acceleration of an object depends on the direction of the object

• The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of the force applied

What is the formula for force according to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

• Force = mass - acceleration

• Force = mass + acceleration

• Force = mass / acceleration

• Force = mass x acceleration

What is acceleration?

• The rate at which speed changes

• The rate at which time changes

• The rate at which distance changes

• The rate at which velocity changes
