Laws of Motion

What is Newton's First Law known as? The Law of

• Friction
• Mass
• Inertia
• Gravity

What kind(s) of objects have inertia?

• all objects with mass
• only objects at rest
• only objects in motion
• only objects whose motion is being changed

Which type of force(s) will cause a change in an object's motion?

• gravity
• zero net force
• balanced forces
• unbalanced forces

An object in motion will stay in what kind of motion as long as the net forces acting on it are zero?

• slowing motion in a straight line
• accelerating motion in a straight line
• constant motion in a straight line
• constant motion in an unpredictable direction

What is the name for a push or pull?

• A movement
• A force
• Speed
• Density

friction is a force that acts 

• in the same direction as the motion
• opposite to the direction of the motion
• opposite to the applied forces
• the same direction as the applied force

What is Newton's First Law

• F=ma
• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
• An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion. 
• Friction 

After a cannonball is fired into frictionless space, the amount of force needed to keep it going equals

• twice the force with which it was fired
• the same amount of force with which it was fired
• 1/2 the force with which it was fired
• zero, since no force is requires to keep it moving.
