1.

In _______________, Newton wrote his book __________________.

a)

1768, Treatise on Gravity

b)

1678, The Three Laws

c)

1687, Principia

d)

1867, My Velociraptor Obsession

2.

Newton's first law is all about ___________________________.

a)

Inertia

b)

Gravity

c)

Mass

d)

Net force

3.

What is Newton's first law?

a)

An object in motion is probably a velociraptor

b)

An object in motion tends to remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force

c)

Net force is equal to mass times acceleration

d)

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction

4.

What is mass?

a)

an object's tendency to keep doing what it's doing

b)

an abbreviation for Massachusetts

c)

the amount of force left over once you account for all all the forces that might cancel each other out

d)

the measure of how much matter is in something

5.

What is Newton's second law?

a)

An object in motion is probably a velociraptor

b)

An object in motion tends to remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force

c)

Net force is equal to mass times acceleration

d)

For every action, there's an equal but opposite reaction

6.

What is the equation for Newton's second law?

a)

Fnet = m * a (Net force = mass * acceleration)

b)

Fnet = g * a (Net force = gravity * acceleration)

c)

Fnet = m * g (Net force = mass * gravity)

d)

Fnet = m *Vrap (Net force = mass * velociraptors)

7.

What is net force?

a)

the amount of force left over once you've added together all the forces that might cancel each other out

b)

the measure of how much mass in something

c)

an object's tendency to keep doing what it's doing

d)

the pull on a basketball net when LeBron James performs a sick slam dunk

8.

What is equaiibrium?

a)

an object's tendency to keep doing what it's doing

b)

the measure of how much matter is in something

c)

the state in which all the forces are balanced out

d)

two perfectly balanced velociraptors on a seesaw

9.

What is the most common case of a net force making something move?

a)

magnetic force

b)

electrical force

c)

brute force

d)

gravitational force

10.

What is Newton's third law?

a)

An object in motion is probably a velociraptor

b)

An object in motion will remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force

c)

Net force is equal to mass times acceleration

d)

For every action, there's an equal but opposite reaction

11.

In physics, what do we measure weight in?

a)

Newtons

b)

Kilograms

c)

Pounds

d)

Triceratops (Ha! Bet you thought I was going to say velociraptors!)
