Newton's Laws Quiz

What is Newton's first law of motion?

• Newton's first law of motion states that an object's speed and direction change randomly.

• Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will start moving on its own.

• Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion slows down over time.

According to Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

• Force equals mass divided by acceleration

• Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma)

• Acceleration equals force divided by mass

• Mass equals force divided by acceleration

State Newton's third law of motion.

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

• The reaction occurs before the action

• The reaction is always greater than the action

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

Explain the concept of inertia in the context of Newton's laws.

• Inertia is the ability of an object to change its state of motion easily.

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

• Inertia is the same as momentum in physics.

• Inertia is the force that causes objects to move.

How do Newton's laws of motion apply to everyday situations?

• A tree growing in a forest

• A bird flying in the sky

• A fish swimming in water

• Newton's laws of motion can be observed in various everyday situations such as a ball rolling on the ground, a car accelerating on the highway, or a person pushing a heavy object.
