Reading: Newton's Laws of Motion

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

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Acceleration

• Law of Action and Reaction

• Law of Gravity

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, what is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

• F = m * a

• F = m / a

• F = a / m

• F = m + a

Which of the following is an example of inertia?

• A book remaining stationary on a table until pushed

• A car accelerating when the gas pedal is pressed

• A ball rolling down a hill

• A rocket launching into space

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

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

• An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

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

• The force of gravity acts between all masses
