  • Q1
    According to Newton's second law of motion, what happens to the acceleration of an object when the net force acting on it increases?
    It remains constant
    It increases
    It decreases
    It becomes zero

  • Q2
    Which of the following best describes Newton's first law of motion?
    An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an external force
    An object's velocity increases as the net force acting on it increases
    The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

  • Q3
    According to Newton's third law of motion, what happens when a force is applied to an object?
    The object remains at rest
    The object accelerates in the direction of the applied force
    The force is increased
    An equal and opposite force is applied back to the object

  • Q4
    What is inertia?
    The force required to stop an object
    The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion
    The force exerted on an object
    The rate at which an object changes its velocity
    30s
  • Q5
    What is the relationship between mass and inertia?
    Mass determines an object's acceleration
    Mass is the speed of an object
    Mass is a measure of inertia
    Mass is the force experienced by an object

  • Q6
    What is the relationship between speed and distance?
    Speed is the time taken to travel a given distance
    Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time
    Speed is the force applied to an object
    Speed is the resistance to motion

    Speed
    Acceleration
    Velocity
    Inertia

  • Q8
    Which term describes the resistance of an object to changes in its motion?
    Acceleration
    Velocity
    Inertia
    Speed
    30s
  • Q9
    Which term represents the amount of distance an object travels in a given time?
    Acceleration
    Velocity
    Speed
    Inertia

  • Q10
    Which of the following is an example of inertia?
    A rocket launching into space
    A skateboarder performing tricks on a halfpipe
    A soccer ball rolling on a flat field and eventually coming to a stop
    A car accelerating from rest to a high speed
    30s
  • Q11
    Which of the following is an example of an application of Newton's first law of motion?
    A car stopping suddenly and the passengers lurching forward
    A hockey puck sliding on ice with minimal resistance
    A rocket launching into space
    A basketball bouncing off the ground after being dropped

    50 kilometers per hour
    100 kilometers per hour
    75 kilometers per hour
    25 kilometers per hour

    A boat travels a distance of 40 kilometers in 2.5 hours. What is its average speed?
    16 kilometers per hour
    20 kilometers per hour
    30 kilometers per hour
    10 kilometers per hour
