  • Q2
    Which of the following statements is a direct application of Newton's First Law of Motion?
    A car accelerates when the driver presses the gas pedal
    A basketball flies toward the hoop when thrown
    A passenger in a car will lurch forward when the car suddenly stops

  • Q3
    Which of the following best describes Newton's First Law of Motion?
    An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net force
    An object in motion stays in motion unless stopped by friction
    The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

  • Q4
    What does Newton's Second Law of Motion explain?
    The law of universal gravitation
    The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration
    The behavior of light
    The conservation of momentum

  • Q5
    What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?
    The rate of change of momentum is equal to the net force
    An object at rest will stay at rest
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
    The acceleration of an object is dependent on its mass

  • Q6
    Which of the following scenarios illustrates Newton's First Law of Motion?
    A soccer ball rolls across the field after being kicked
    A book resting on a table remains in place until someone pushes it
    A car accelerates when the gas pedal is pressed
    A rocket moves forward due to the force of its engines

  • Q7
    Which statement encapsulates Newton's Second Law of Motion?
    An object's momentum remains constant unless acted upon
    The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
    An object moves in a straight line unless acted upon

  • Q8
    Which example best illustrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?
    A ball rolls down a hill due to gravity
    When you jump off a diving board, the board pushes you upward
    A plane takes off because of engine thrust
    A car slows down when brakes are applied
    30s
  • Q9
    What does the concept of inertia relate to in Newton's First Law of Motion?
    The force required to stop a moving object
    The attraction between two objects due to gravity
    The speed at which an object moves through space
    The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
    30s
  • Q10
    How does Newton's Second Law of Motion relate to everyday activities?
    It describes how forces are always balanced
    It shows that all objects fall at the same rate
    It states that an object will remain at rest until lifted
    It explains how heavier objects require more force to move than lighter objects
