Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz

A soccer ball is kicked and it continues to roll on the field. According to Newton's first law of motion, what will happen to the ball if no unbalanced force (like friction or another player kicking it) acts on it?

• It will roll back in the opposite direction

• It will start moving in a circular path

• It will slow down and eventually stop

• It will continue rolling at the same speed

A car is moving on a road. What is the force that always acts in the opposite direction of the car's motion, caused by the contact between the car's tires and the road, according to Newton's laws of motion?

• Acceleration

• Gravity

• Inertia

• Friction

A soccer ball is kicked and it starts moving. According to Newton's second law of motion, what happens to the soccer ball if an unbalanced force (like wind or gravity) acts on it?

• It remains at rest

• It moves in a circular path

• It accelerates in the direction of the force

• It decelerates in the direction of the force
