REVIEW: NEWTON'S THREE LAWS OF MOTION

A person steps out of the boat and onto the dock. As the person moves forward onto the dock, the boat moves backward. Which statement best describes the backward motion of the boat as the person steps forward?

• For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.

• Every mass exerts a force on every other mass.

• An object at rest will tend to stay at rest.

• Friction opposes the motion of an object.

Which of Newton's Three Laws does the following statement satisfy? Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

• Newton's First Law

• Newton's Third Law

• Newton's Second Law

• Frictional Force

A force is a push or a pull on an object that results from its interaction with another object.

• True

• False

If there is a big mass, it would need a stronger force to accelerate it. Which law does this describe?

• It will move to the right.

• It will move to the left.

• It will move in both directions.
