Newton's Laws of Motion

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

• Objects will stay still or keep moving unless a force acts on them.

• Objects will always move in a circular path.

• Objects will stop moving on their own.

• Objects will move faster if they are heavier.

Which of the following is an example of Newton's Second Law of Motion?

• A book staying still on a desk.

• Kicking a soccer ball hard makes it go far.

• A rolling ball hitting a wall and stopping.

• Jumping and the ground pushing you up.

What is the key idea of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

• Things do not change motion by themselves.

• More force equals more motion.

• Forces always come in pairs.

• Lighter objects are easier to move.

Which term describes the resistance to change in motion? (an object in motion will stay in motion/an object at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts on it)

• Force

• Inertia

• Acceleration

• Mass

What happens when you push water backward while swimming?

• The water pulls you backward.

• The water pushes you forward.
