Exploring Newton's Three Laws of Motion

What is the primary focus of Newton's first law of motion?

• Force and acceleration

• Action and reaction forces

• Inertia and motion

• Gravitational pull

Why is it important to wear a seatbelt according to Newton's first law?

• To prevent motion due to inertia

• To increase comfort

• To look fashionable

• To reduce the inertia

What role does inertia play when a car suddenly stops?

What is demonstrated by the action of walking?

• Action-reaction force pairs

• Muscular force only

• Gravity's pull on the body

• Air resistance

How does Newton's second law apply when catching a cricket ball?

• Change in momentum over time

• Only the ball's speed matters

• The ball's weight dictates the force

• It doesn't apply
