Newton's Laws of Motion Check

How do Newton’s laws of motion explain the motion and forces an object will have?

• By describing the gravitational pull on objects

• By explaining the relationship between mass and energy

• By detailing the effects of friction on surfaces

• By defining the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration

What is the Law of Inertia?

• An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• An object in motion will stop immediately when no force is applied.

• An object at rest will start moving on its own.

• An object in motion will change direction without any force.

What is the formula for force according to Newton's second law of motion?

• Force = mass x velocity

• Force = mass x acceleration

• Force = mass / acceleration

• Force = acceleration / mass

What is the third law of motion?

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

• An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

• Force equals mass times acceleration.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

What does Newton's first law mean?

• An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by a balanced force.

• An object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

• An object will change direction on its own.

• An object will always speed up over time.

What does Newton's first law mean?

• It takes a force to change the motion of an object.

• Objects can change motion without any force.

• Objects naturally stop moving on their own.

• Motion is unrelated to force.
