Inertia

The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object

• Motion

• Inertia

• Speed

Newton's First law of Motion is also called:

• The law of Gravity

• F=ma

• The Law of Physics

• The law of Nature

• The law of Inertia.

The tendency of of an object to stay in its current state of motion.

• Acceleration

• Momentum

•  Impulse

• Intertia

• Friction

Give an example of where we can see Newton's 1st law in action. Explain how this law applies to your example.

Objects will remain at rest or in motion unless acted on by a force.

• inertia

• acceleration

• decelration

• speed

Which of the following best describes inertia?

• The resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion

• The speed of an object in a given direction

• The energy required to move an object

What happens to a passenger in a car when the car suddenly stops?

• The passenger moves forward due to inertia

• The passenger moves backward due to inertia

• The passenger remains stationary

• The passenger moves sideways
