1.

When a marble is pulled back and released on a Newton's Cradle, the marble on the opposite side moves in the opposite direction. This is due to...

a)

Newton's First Law of Motion

b)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

c)

Newton's Third Law of Motion

d)

Newton's Law of Inertia

2.

When trying to load a moving truck with furniture, the movers tried shouting at the boxes to get on the truck. The boxes did not move. This is due to...

a)

Newton's First Law of Motion

b)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

c)

Newton's Third Law of Motion

d)

Newton's Law of Action and Reaction

3.

You are able to stop a soccer ball from rolling down a hill. When a train (with much more mass) rolls down the same hill, you find it slightly harder to stop. This is due to...

a)

Newton's First Law of Motion

b)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

c)

Newton's Third Law of Motion

d)

Newton's Fourth Law of Motion

4.

Two people are pushing a cart up a ramp. Person 1 pushes with a force of 10 N, and person 2 pushes with a force of 15 N. If they are pushing the cart together, what is the net force?

a)

10 N

b)

15 N

c)

150 N

d)

25 N

5.

Which formula for Newton's Second Law is correct?

a)

F = m x a

b)

F = m / a

c)

m = a / F

d)

a = m / F

6.

Whenever two surfaces come into contact, this is the force that results from them touching.

a)

Inertia

b)

Balanced forces

c)

Friction

d)

Unbalanced forces

7.

You shove two boxes with the same amount of force. You notice that Box 1 moves with 1/4 the acceleration of Box 2. This must mean that...

a)

The mass of Box 1 is double the mass of Box 2.

b)

The mass of Box 1 is quadruple the mass of Box 2.

c)

The mass of Box 1 is 1/2 the mass of Box 2.

d)

The mass of Box 1 is 1/4 the mass of Box 2.

8.

10 N

b)

10 m/s/s

c)

25 N

d)

25 kg

9.

a)

30 N

b)

10 N

c)

20 N

d)

3 N

10.

You notice during a game of tug of war that even though both teams are pulling in opposite directions, the rope is still moving to the right. This is due to...
