According to Newton's First Law, what happens to an object at rest?

• It accelerates

• It changes direction

• It remains at rest unless acted upon by a force

• It starts moving on its own

What will an object in motion do if no external force acts on it?

• It will stop

• It will accelerate

• It will change direction

• It will continue moving at the same speed and in the same direction

What is inertia?

• The speed of an object in a given direction

• The force that pulls objects towards the Earth

• The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion

• The rate of change of velocity

What happens to an object if a force is applied to it?

• It remains at rest

• It changes its state of motion

• It disappears

• It becomes heavier

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

• An object at rest will remain at rest

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

• Objects in motion stay in motion

• Acceleration is produced when a force is applied to a mass

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

• Force equals acceleration divided by mass

• Force equals mass plus acceleration

• Force equals mass divided by acceleration

• Force equals mass times acceleration

According to Newton's Third Law, what happens when you push a wall?

• The wall moves

• The wall pushes back with equal force

• The wall breaks

• Nothing happens

What is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

• A ball rolling down a hill

• A rocket launching into space

• A car accelerating

• A book resting on a table
