Force Newtons Laws

An object at rest will _______ if no outside forces are applied.

• Stay at rest
• Increase Velocity
• Decrease Mass

• False

• eventually come to a stop.
• change its momentum.
• accelerate.

A sled sliding on a flat, icy surface with a constant velocity is best described by

• Newton’s first law of motion for objects at rest.
• Newton’s first law of motion for objects in motion.
• Newton’s second law of motion.
• Newton’s third law of motion.

Which of the following explains the difference between speed and velocity?

• One has motion, and the other does not.
• One has direction, and the other does not.
• One involves time, and the other does not.
• One involves acceleration, and the other does not.

How does Newton’s third law explain how a rocket takes off?

• The rocket’s acceleration is positive, while the gasses acceleration is negative but the direction is the same. 
• The rocket is at rest until ignition.
• The hot gasses move in one direction, while the rocket moves in the opposite direction but with equal force.
