  • Q1
    What does Newton's First Law of Motion state about an object's motion?
    An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
    An object will only move if it is pushed.
    An object will always move faster if a force is applied.
    An object in motion will stop immediately when no force is applied.

  • Q2
    What does Newton's Second Law of Motion describe?
    The law of universal gravitation.
    The motion of planets around the sun.
    The force of gravity between two objects.
    The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration: F = ma.

  • Q3
    Which of the following best describes Newton's Third Law of Motion?
    Force is equal to mass times the speed of the object.
    The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass.
    An object will move in a straight line unless acted on by a force.
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

  • Q4
    What is the main concept of inertia as described in Newton's First Law?
    Inertia is the speed at which an object moves.
    Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
    Inertia is the measure of an object's weight.
    Inertia only affects objects in motion.

  • Q5
    Which of the following situations demonstrates Newton's Second Law of Motion?
    A smaller car accelerating faster than a larger truck when the same amount of force is applied to both.
    A ball at rest remaining in place until kicked.
    A bicycle rolling down a hill without pedaling.
    A person pushing a heavy box across a floor.

  • Q6
    Which scenario illustrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?
    A car stopping at a red light.
    When you jump off a small boat, the boat pushes backward as you move forward.
    A person lifting weights at the gym.
    A ball rolling downhill due to gravity.

  • Q7
    Which statement reflects the concept of inertia as defined in Newton's First Law?
    Objects always move faster when a force is applied.
    An object cannot change direction unless acted upon.
    A moving object will eventually come to a stop without any forces acting on it.
    A stationary object will not move unless a force acts on it.

  • Q8
    What does the concept of mass in Newton's Second Law signify?
    Mass is the weight of an object at sea level.
    Mass is the distance an object travels under force.
    Mass is the speed at which an object moves.
    Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object which influences how much it accelerates when a force is applied.
    30s
  • Q9
    How does Newton's Second Law relate force, mass, and acceleration?
    An increase in mass always results in an increase in acceleration.
    The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass, described by the equation F = ma.
    Acceleration does not depend on mass.
    Force and mass are the same thing.
    30s
  • Q10
    What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?
    Objects will always accelerate at the same rate regardless of mass.
    The force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its velocity.
    An object at rest will not move unless a force is applied.
    The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

  • Q11
    What is the main idea behind Newton's Third Law of Motion?
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
    Mass and weight are the same thing.
    The speed of an object will always increase when a force is applied.
    An object will remain in motion until a net force acts on it.

  • Q12
    Which of the following best illustrates Newton's First Law of Motion?
    A bicycle stops when the brakes are applied.
    A car accelerates when the driver presses the gas pedal.
    A book resting on a table remains at rest until someone picks it up.
    A soccer ball rolls faster when kicked harder.

  • Q13
    In the context of Newton's Second Law, what happens to the acceleration of an object if the mass increases while the net force remains constant?
    The mass will change.
    The acceleration remains the same.
    The acceleration decreases.
    The acceleration increases.

  • Q14
    Which scenario best demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?
    A ball rolls down a hill under the influence of gravity.
    A swimmer pushes water backward, causing them to move forward.
    A person sitting still in a chair remains in place.
    A car speeds up when the driver steps on the gas.

  • Q15
    According to Newton's First Law, what will happen if an object in motion experiences no net external forces?
    It will start to rotate.
    It will change direction.
    It will gradually slow down and stop.
    It will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line.
