What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?
An object in motion will eventually stop unless acted upon by a force.
An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Which of the following is an example of Newton's First Law?
A car accelerating when the gas pedal is pressed.
A book remaining on a table until someone moves it.
A rocket launching into space.
A ball thrown into the air coming back down.
According to Newton's Second Law, what is the formula for force?
F=ma
F=am
F=m+a
F=m−a
What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a force.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates Newton's Third Law?
A car accelerating on a highway.
A person pushing against a wall and the wall pushing back with equal force.
A ball rolling down a hill.
A satellite orbiting the Earth.
What is inertia?
The tendency of an object to change its state of motion.
The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
The force required to move an object.
The acceleration of an object due to gravity.
Which of the following is an application of Newton's First Law?
A rocket launching into space.
A car stopping suddenly and the passengers lurching forward.
A ball thrown into the air coming back down.
A person swimming in a pool.
If a 5 kg object is accelerating at 2m/s2 , what is the force applied to the object?
5N
10N
15N
20N
If a force of 20 N is applied to a 4 kg object, what is the acceleration of the object?
2m/s2
4m/s2
5m/s2
6m/s2
Which of the following is an example of Newton's Second Law?
A book resting on a table.
A car accelerating when the gas pedal is pressed.
A person sitting in a chair.
A ball rolling at a constant speed.
What happens to the acceleration of an object if the force applied to it is doubled, assuming mass remains constant?
The acceleration is halved.
The acceleration remains the same.
The acceleration is doubled.
The acceleration is quadrupled.
Which of the following is an application of Newton's Third Law?
A rocket launching into space.
A car stopping suddenly.
A ball rolling down a hill.
A book resting on a table.
