Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion also known as?

• Law of Gravity

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Acceleration

• Law of Reaction

According to Newton's 1st Law, what happens to an object at rest?

• It starts moving on its own

• It stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force

• It accelerates

• It changes direction

What is the formula stated in Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

• Force = mass x velocity

• Force = mass x acceleration

• Force = mass x speed

• Force = mass x distance

What does Newton's 3rd Law of Motion state?

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

• Objects in motion stay in motion

• Force equals mass times acceleration

• Gravity attracts all objects
