What is another name for Newton's first law of motion?

• Law of Energy Conservation

• Law of Interaction

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Acceleration

According to Newton's first law, what will happen to a hockey player standing still on the ice unless an external force acts?

• He will continue standing still

• He will fall down

• He will skate in a circle

• He will start moving

What does Newton's first law state about objects at rest?

• They will eventually move due to natural forces

• They will move randomly

• They will accelerate over time

• They will remain at rest unless acted upon by a force

What happens to a hockey player's motion when he is checked by another player?

• His direction or speed changes

• His speed increases

• He stops immediately

• He continues without any change

How does the concept of inertia apply to a hockey player who is suddenly hit by another player?

• The player's inertia causes him to remain stationary

• The player's inertia does not change

• The player's inertia is lost

• The player's inertia causes him to move

What is the effect of an external force on a hockey player moving at a constant speed?

• It changes his speed or direction

• It causes him to accelerate

• It causes him to stop immediately

• It has no effect

If a hockey puck is sliding on perfectly frictionless ice, what would its motion look like according to Newton's first law?

• It would stop eventually

• It would slow down gradually

• It would continue at the same speed in a straight line

• It would change direction

What would happen to a moving hockey puck if no external forces were applied?

• It would continue moving indefinitely

• It would slow down and stop

• It would eventually stop

• It would start moving in a zigzag pattern

In the context of Newton's laws, what role does friction play in the motion of a hockey puck on ice?

• It increases the puck's speed

• It has no effect

• It decreases the puck's speed

• It changes the puck's direction
