Question 2

Which of the following statements is a direct application of Newton's First Law of Motion?

Accepted Answer

A passenger in a car will lurch forward when the car suddenly stops

Answer

A car accelerates when the driver presses the gas pedal

Answer

A basketball flies toward the hoop when thrown

Answer

A tire screeches when a car makes a sharp turn

Question 3

Which of the following best describes Newton's First Law of Motion?

Accepted Answer

An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net force

Answer

An object in motion stays in motion unless stopped by friction

Answer

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it

Answer

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Question 4

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion explain?

Accepted Answer

The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration

Answer

The law of universal gravitation

Answer

The behavior of light

Answer

The conservation of momentum

Question 5

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Accepted Answer

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Answer

The rate of change of momentum is equal to the net force

Answer

An object at rest will stay at rest

Answer

The acceleration of an object is dependent on its mass

Question 6

Which of the following scenarios illustrates Newton's First Law of Motion?

Accepted Answer

A book resting on a table remains in place until someone pushes it

Answer

A soccer ball rolls across the field after being kicked

Answer

A car accelerates when the gas pedal is pressed

Answer

A rocket moves forward due to the force of its engines

Question 7

Which statement encapsulates Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Accepted Answer

The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass

Answer

An object's momentum remains constant unless acted upon

Answer

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Answer

An object moves in a straight line unless acted upon

Question 8

Which example best illustrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Accepted Answer

When you jump off a diving board, the board pushes you upward

Answer

A ball rolls down a hill due to gravity

Answer

A plane takes off because of engine thrust

Answer

A car slows down when brakes are applied

Question 9

What does the concept of inertia relate to in Newton's First Law of Motion?

Accepted Answer

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion

Answer

The force required to stop a moving object

Answer

The attraction between two objects due to gravity

Answer

The speed at which an object moves through space

Question 10

How does Newton's Second Law of Motion relate to everyday activities?

Accepted Answer

It explains how heavier objects require more force to move than lighter objects

Answer

It describes how forces are always balanced

Answer

It shows that all objects fall at the same rate

Answer

It states that an object will remain at rest until lifted
