Newton's First Law of Motion

what does newtons first law of motion state?

• An object will accelerate if no force is applied.

• An object will change direction only if a force is applied.

• An object in motion will eventually stop without any force.

• An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.

which situation best illustrates newtons first law?

• A car accelerating on a highway.

• A ball thrown in the air.

• A person pushing a shopping cart.

• A hockey puck sliding on ice.

which concept is most closely related to newtons first law?

• Gravity

• Inertia

• Friction

• Momentum

why does a rolling ball on the ground eventually stop even though newtons first law suggests that it should keep moving?

• The ball stops due to friction acting as an external force.

• The ball gains speed due to gravity.

• The ball is pushed by an invisible force.

• The ball is rolling uphill against friction.

Whats Newtons First Law?

• The more force applied to an object the faster it will accelerate.

• An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted by an outside force.

• for every ection there is an equal and oposite reaction

Newton’s first law of motion: An object at rest remains at rest unless acted on by an _________.

• Unbalanced Force.

• Act of Inertia

• Angry Dog

• Unknown Force

An object in motion (or at rest) will to stay in motion (or at rest) until an outside force acts upon it.

• Newton's 1st Law

• Newton's 2nd Law

• Newton's 3rd Law

• Newton's 4th Law

if you are in a moving car that suddenly stops why do you continue moving forward?

• You are thrown by the car's brakes.

• You are pushed by the car's engine.

• You are pulled by gravity.

• You continue moving forward due to inertia.

why is wearing a seatbelt important in relation to newtons first law?

• Seatbelts are only necessary for long trips.

• Wearing a seatbelt increases the risk of injury during a crash.

• Seatbelts are designed to keep passengers comfortable, not safe.

• Wearing a seatbelt is important because it restrains occupants and prevents them from being thrown forward in a crash, aligning with Newton's first law.

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion

• Newtons 1st Law

• Newtons 2nd Law

• Newtons 3rd Law

• None
