  • Q1
    What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?
    An object in motion changes direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force
    An object at rest can move if enough force is applied
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
    An object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force

  • Q3
    According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, what happens when you apply more force to an object?
    The object's acceleration increases
    The object's direction becomes random
    The object's velocity stays the same
    The object's mass decreases

  • Q6
    What does Newton's Second Law of Motion explain about the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration?
    Mass equals force times acceleration
    Force equals acceleration divided by mass
    Force equals mass times acceleration
    Acceleration equals mass divided by force

  • Q7
    Which action demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?
    When you pull a drawer, it comes toward you
    When you throw a ball, it travels through the air
    When you push a heavy box, it moves forward
    When you jump off a boat, the boat moves backward

  • Q8
    What happens to an object's motion if no net force acts on it?
    It will maintain its current state of motion
    It will change direction
    It will stop moving
    It will start moving faster

  • Q9
    When you push a shopping cart, what effect does adding more weight have on how hard you need to push?
    You only need to push lightly because it will move on its own
    You can push with less force and it will go faster
    The weight does not affect how hard you push
    You need to push harder to accelerate the cart

  • Q10
    What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?
    The object speeds up
    The object comes to a stop
    The object changes direction
    The object stays at rest or continues moving at a constant speed
