The SI units for force are...

• Kilograms
• Newtons
• Meters per second
• Pounds

According to Newton’s first law of motion, a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will

• remain in motion.
• 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.

Acceleration is caused by a force acting on a mass.

• Newton’s first law of motion
• Newton’s second law of motion
• Newton’s third law of motion

For a force on an object there is an equal and opposite force.

• Newton’s first law of motion
• Newton’s second law of motion
• Newton’s third law of motion

Without any force to change it, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion

• Newton’s first law of motion
• Newton’s second law of motion
• Newton’s third law of motion
