Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 13mins
Newton's First Law is also known as...
Law of Friction
Law of Motion
Law of Inertia
actio = reactio
Law of Gravity
Which objects have inertia?
Only objects in motion
All objects with mass
Only objects at rest
All objects in motion
The Voyager space probes keep moving away from earth because...
they are not slowed down by friction
their engines are pushing them forward
they are still accelerating from their launch
they are pulled by suns gravity
they have inertia
The motion of an object with a net force of 0 N acting on it is
slowing down in a straight line
constant speed in a straight line
accelerating in a straight line
accelerating in a curve
slowing down in a curve
Newton's First Law states that...
force and inertia cancel each other out
without a force there is no motion
without a force, an object at rest stays at rest
without a force, an object in motion stays in motion
inertia causes friction
Which kinds of forces cause a change in motion?
balanced forces
a net force of 0 N
a net force larger than 0 N
unbalanced forces
Newton's Second Law...
defines force as the cause of a change in motion
shows that friction has to be a force
defines mass as a resistance against a change in motion
connects force with acceleration
What is the unit of force?
N
s2m
kg⋅s2m
F
J
Which equation describes Newton's Second Law?
F=am
F=m⋅a
a=mF
a=Fm
What does an increase in acceleration mean for the force acting on an object?
The force increases
The force decreases
The force is constant
The force disappeared
When a heavy car crashes into a lighter one...
the heavier one applies a larger force to the lighter one
both apply the same amount of force to each other
the lighter one applies a larger force to the heavier one
the lighter one is slowed down more
the heavier one is slowed down more
Newton's Third Law is also known as...
Law of Friction
Law of Motion
Law of Inertia
actio = reactio
Law of Gravity
An apple hanging from a tree...
is not affected by a force
is only affected by gravity
applies the same force to earth as earth applies to the apple
applies less force to earth than earth applies to the apple
applies more force to earth than earth applies to the apple
Newton's Third law states that for every action, there is...
a reaction proportional to the mass
a reaction proportional to the friction
an equal and opposite reaction
an equal reaction in the same direction
A book is lying on a table and gravity is pulling it down with a force of 10 N. What stops the book from accelerating downward with 9.8 s2m ?
The table is pushing the book upward with a force of 10 N
The table is pushing the book upward with a force greater than 10 N
Inertia
The net force acting on the book is 0 N
Weight...
is a force
is caused by gravity
is another word for mass
is directly proportional to mass
is different on the Moon and on Earth
Friction...
is a force
can be caused by the inertia of air molecules
is a reaction to inertia
depends on gravity
is different for moving and stationary objects
How much force is needed to accelerate a car with 2000 kg at 2 s2m ?
1000 N
2000 N
4000 N
8000 N
A dog pulling a 5 kg bike with a force of 70 N causes an acceleration of...
1.4 s2m
35 s2m
350 s2m
14 s2m
Newton's Third Law requires
2 objects to interact with each other
2 forces acting on an object
inertia
forces cancelling each other
