What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?
An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The force between two objects depends on the mass of each object and the distance between them.
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, what does the equation F = ma represent?
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Force equals mass divided by acceleration.
Acceleration equals force divided by mass.
Mass equals force divided by acceleration.
What principle is illustrated by Newton's Third Law of Motion?
Objects at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a force.
The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied force.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

Newton
Kilogram
Pascal
Meter
How is weight scientifically defined?
Mass x Gravity
Force x Acceleration
Force x Gravity's acceleration
Mass x Acceleration
