  • Q1
    According to Newton's 1st Law of Motion, what happens to the motion of an object when the net force acting on it is zero?
    The object starts increasing its speed.
    The object changes its direction of motion.
    The object starts accelerating in the opposite direction.
    The object comes to a complete stop.
    The object continues to move with a constant velocity.

  • Q2
    Which of the following best describes Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
    An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
    An object in motion tends to change direction unless an external force acts upon it.
    An object at rest tends to slow down and stop unless an external force acts upon it.
    An object in motion always slows down and stops unless an external force acts upon it.
    An object at rest tends to speed up and move forward unless an external force acts upon it.
