First Law of Motion

An object's tendency to resist (not) change its state of motion.

• gravity

• force

• inertia

• friction

The tendency of an object to resist change in motion.

• Force

• Motion

• Friction

• Inertia

You are holding a bowl of hot soup while standing in the kitchen. As you begin to move, the soup spills out of the bowl. Upon reflection you realize that

• the soup spilled because of air resistance

• if you had traveled faster this wouldn't have happened

• the soup wanted to stay where it was, but you moved the bowl

• the soup and the bowl act as one body with the same velocity

Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as

• The Law of Friction

• The Law of Mass

• The Law of Inertia

• Gravity

Inertia is Newton's _______ Law of Motion.

• First

• Second

• Third

Newton's 1st Law states,________________________.

• F=ma

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

• An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion.

• Friction

According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will

• remain in motion.

• eventually come to a stop.

• change its momentum.

• remain at rest

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its ___________.

• temperature

• shape

• size

• motion

Why does an truck have more inertia than a bicycle?

• it has more mass

• it has more volume

• it is not as aerodynamic
