Physics Quiz: Newton's Laws of Motion

What is another name for Newton's First Law of Motion?

• Law of Action

• Law of Acceleration

• Law of Inertia

• Law of Gravity

What property causes objects to keep doing what they are already doing?

• Friction

• Inertia

• Acceleration

• Gravity

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

• No Relationship

• Direct

• Exponential

• Inverse

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, what happens to an object in motion?

• It stops immediately

• It slows down gradually

• It continues in motion

• It moves in reverse

What is the formula for calculating force in Newton's Second Law of Motion?

• F = a/m

• F = m/a

• F = m + a

• F = ma

In the equation F = ma, what does 'm' represent?

• Acceleration

• Energy

• Mass

• Force

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

• Acceleration is directly proportional to force

• Mass and weight are the same

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

• Objects in motion tend to stay in motion

When you jump, what force do you exert on the ground?

• No force

• Downward force

• Upward force

• Sideways force

What is the formula for calculating weight?

• W = gm

• W = mg

• W = m/g

• W = g/m

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass changes with gravity, weight remains constant

• Mass is a force, weight is a property of matter

• Mass is the amount of matter, weight is the force of gravity

• Mass is measured in Newtons, weight in kilograms
