Quiz on Newton's Laws of Motion

What is the first law of motion also known as?

• Law of Resistance

• Law of Acceleration

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Gravity

What does the first law of motion state about an object at rest?

• It will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• It will start moving spontaneously.

• It will accelerate indefinitely.

• It will change direction without force.

According to the second law of motion, what is acceleration inversely proportional to?

• Distance

• Force

• Mass

• Velocity

What happens when a net force acts on a body?

• It will be accelerated in the direction of the force.

• It will remain in its current state.

• It will change its shape.

• It will lose mass.

What is the relationship between force and mass according to Newton's laws?

• Force is independent of mass.

• Heavier objects require more force to accelerate.

• Force decreases with mass.

• Mass is irrelevant to force.

What does the second law of motion describe?

• The conservation of momentum.

• The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

• The concept of inertia.

• The effects of gravity on motion.

What is the effect of increasing force on acceleration?

• Acceleration becomes negative.

• Acceleration decreases.

• Acceleration remains constant.

• Acceleration increases.

What does it mean for mass and acceleration to be inversely proportional?

• As mass increases, acceleration decreases.

• Acceleration is constant regardless of mass.

• Mass and acceleration are unrelated.

• Increasing mass increases acceleration.

What is the primary focus of Newton's first law?

• The relationship between mass and acceleration.

• The effect of forces on motion.

• The calculation of gravitational force.

• The concept of inertia.

What is an unbalanced force?

• A force that does not change an object's motion.

• A force that causes a change in motion.

• A force that acts on stationary objects only.

• A force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
