Select the Law: Also known as the Law of Inertia, this law states an object at rest will remain at, unless acted upon by an outside force.

a)

Newton's First Law of Motion

b)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

c)

Newton's Third Law of Motion

2.

This force results if the pulling force acts on its ends, such as in a rope used to pull an elevator.

a)

Normal Force

b)

Gravitational Force

c)

Tension Force

d)

Friction Force

e)

Applied Force

3.

This force is due to gravity, always measured as 9.8 m/s/s. This force is a downward force, on free body diagrams...

a)

Normal Force

b)

Gravitational Force

c)

Tension Force

d)

Friction Force

e)

Applied Force

4.

Select the Law: This law states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

a)

Newton's First Law of Motion

b)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

c)

Newton's Third Law of Motion

5.

Select the Law Represented by the Scenario: If you push against a wall, that wall will push back against you with an equal force (as long as the wall doesn’t fall over).

a)

Newton's First Law of Motion

b)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

c)

Newton's Third Law of Motion

6.

This force prevents objects from falling; into whatever they are sitting upon. This force is always perpendicular to the surface.

a)

Normal Force

b)

Gravitational Force

c)

Tension Force

d)

Friction Force

e)

Applied Force

7.

Select the Law: This law is more mathematical. It states, Force is equal to Mass multiplied by the Acceleration.

a)

Newton's First Law of Motion

b)

Newton's Second Law of Motion

c)

Newton's Third Law of Motion

8.

This force resists the direction of movement. For example, a car’s tires over the road or the brakes interacting with the tire.

a)

Normal Force

b)

Gravitational Force

c)

Tension Force

d)

Friction Force

e)

Applied Force

9.

This force is created in a given direction, such as a push or a pull.

a)

Normal Force

b)

Gravitational Force

c)

Tension Force

d)

Friction Force

e)

Applied Force

10.
