Force and Motion Quiz

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. True or False?

• False

• True

• Only objects in space

• Only objects on Earth

Which of the following is an example of Newton's second law of motion? A) A car accelerating on a straight road B) A book resting on a table C) A ball rolling down a hill D) A person standing still

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects. True or False?

• Friction is not a force, it is a type of energy

• True

• False, friction is a force that helps objects move faster

• Friction only affects stationary objects, so the statement is false
