1.

What is inertia?

a)

Inertia is the energy stored in an object.

b)

Inertia is the force that causes objects to move.

c)

Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion.

d)

Inertia is the ability of an object to float in water.

2.

According to Newton's First Law, an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless...

a)

acted upon by an external force

b)

accelerated by gravity

c)

subjected to friction

d)

in motion at a constant speed

3.

What is the other name for Newton's First Law?

a)

Law of Inertia

b)

Law of Rest

c)

Newton's Third Law

d)

Principle of Equilibrium

4.

Inertia is the resistance of an object to change its...

a)

color perception

b)

motion or state of rest

c)

ability to float

d)

resistance to acceleration

5.

True or False: Newton's First Law states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

a)

True

b)

Sometimes

c)

Maybe

d)

False

6.

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

a)

Mass and inertia are inversely proportional.

b)

Mass and inertia are directly proportional.

c)

Mass has no effect on inertia.

d)

Inertia is not related to mass.

7.

What is the main concept behind Newton's First Law?

a)

Inertia

b)

Friction

c)

Acceleration

d)

Gravity

8.

What is the role of friction in relation to Newton's First Law?

a)

Friction always slows down an object's motion

b)

Friction acts as the force that counteracts an object's tendency to remain in its state of motion or rest.

c)

Friction causes objects to accelerate without any external force

d)

Friction has no effect on an object's motion

9.

How does inertia affect the motion of objects?

a)

Inertia causes objects to speed up

b)

Inertia makes objects change direction easily

c)

Inertia affects the motion of objects by making them resist changes in their state of motion.

d)

Inertia has no effect on the motion of objects

10.

Explain how Newton's First Law of Motion applies to a passenger in a car that suddenly stops.

a)

The passenger will move forward due to inertia.

b)

The passenger will remain at rest.

c)

The passenger will move backward.

d)

The passenger will stay in the same position.
