- Q1What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?An object in motion changes direction unless acted on by an unbalanced forceAn object at rest can move if enough force is appliedFor every action, there is an equal and opposite reactionAn object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force30s
- Q2Which of the following illustrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?A car accelerates when the driver presses the gas pedalA person pushes against a wall, and the wall doesn't moveA rocket pushes exhaust gases downward and moves upwardA ball rolls down a hill30s
- Q3According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, what happens when you apply more force to an object?The object's acceleration increasesThe object's direction becomes randomThe object's velocity stays the sameThe object's mass decreases30s
- Q4What is the primary concept of Newton's First Law of Motion?AccelerationForceInertiaMomentum30s
- Q5If a car is driving at a constant speed in a straight line, which of Newton's laws applies?Newton's Law of Universal GravitationNewton's Third Law of MotionNewton's Second Law of MotionNewton's First Law of Motion30s
- Q6What does Newton's Second Law of Motion explain about the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration?Mass equals force times accelerationForce equals acceleration divided by massForce equals mass times accelerationAcceleration equals mass divided by force30s
- Q7Which action demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?When you pull a drawer, it comes toward youWhen you throw a ball, it travels through the airWhen you push a heavy box, it moves forwardWhen you jump off a boat, the boat moves backward30s
- Q8What happens to an object's motion if no net force acts on it?It will maintain its current state of motionIt will change directionIt will stop movingIt will start moving faster30s
- Q9When 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 ownYou can push with less force and it will go fasterThe weight does not affect how hard you pushYou need to push harder to accelerate the cart30s
- Q10What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?The object speeds upThe object comes to a stopThe object changes directionThe object stays at rest or continues moving at a constant speed30s
