Newton's Laws Quiz

What is Newton's First Law of Motion also known as?

• Law of Rest

• Principle of Motion

• Newton's Third Law

• Law of Inertia

According to Newton's First Law, an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by what?

• external force

• internal force

• friction

• gravity

True or False: Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

• False

• Sometimes

• Maybe

• True

What is the other name for Newton's First Law?

• Newton's Third Law

• Law of Rest

• Principle of Equilibrium

• Law of Inertia

According to Newton's First Law, what is the tendency of an object in motion?

• Tendency to maintain its velocity

• Tendency to change direction constantly

• Tendency to stop immediately

• Tendency to speed up

What is the formula for Newton's First Law of Motion?

• F = ma = 42

• F = ma = 1

• F = 0 or F = ma = 0

• F = ma = -1

What is the key concept behind Newton's First Law?

• Theory of relativity

• Law of motion

• Law of inertia

• Principle of gravity

According to Newton's First Law, what happens to an object when no external force is applied to it?

• It will disappear magically

• It will transform into a different object

• It will start moving in a circular path

• It will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line.

What is the role of inertia in Newton's First Law?

• Inertia is the resistance of objects to change in motion in Newton's First Law.

• Inertia explains why objects maintain their state of motion as described in Newton's First Law.

• Inertia causes objects to speed up or slow down in Newton's First Law.

• Inertia is the force that pulls objects towards the center in Newton's First Law.

How does Newton's First Law relate to the concept of equilibrium?

• Newton's First Law relates to the concept of equilibrium by stating that an object will remain in equilibrium if the vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero.

• Equilibrium is only achieved when an object is in motion, according to Newton's First Law.

• Newton's First Law states that equilibrium is not affected by external forces.

• The concept of equilibrium contradicts Newton's First Law by requiring constant force.
