1.

Which law of motion says that a kicked ball would fly forever if it wasn't for forces like
air friction and gravity?

First Law of Motion

Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion

2. Who came up with the Three Laws

of Motion?
Albert Einstein
Galileo Galilei
Isaac Newton

3. Joey can throw the ball farther than Bill because he is stronger and applies more
force. That's:
Law of Inertia
Law of Acceleration
Law of Interaction

4. Acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it and inversely

proportional to its mass. That's:
First Law of Motion
Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion

5. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That's:

First Law of Motion
Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion

6. Which law helps to define "inertia?"

First Law of Motion
Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion

7. Two cars are following a 35 ton tractor-trailer truck traveling down the highway at a
high rate of speed. One of the following vehicles is significantly heavier than the other.
Wind coming off the back of the truck shakes them both. One of them does not sway as
much as the other. Which one does not sway as much as the other?

The lighter car will sway more than the heavier car.

The heavier car will sway more than the lighter car.

None

8. Which law says something about, "...a body in motion ramains in motion?"

First Law of Motion

Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion

9. It is a push or a pull exerted by one body on another body.

Inertia

Force

Acceleration

10. How is inertia used when riding a bicycle?

 Bicycles do not use inertia.

You can stop peddling and you will continue rolling

forward.

You must peddle harder when going up hill

11. Which one of Newton's Laws fits this statement: When you push one object, it
pushes back?

First Law of Motion

Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion

12. Devices such as seat belts and air bags are used to protect passengers from which
one of Newton's Laws?

Law of Inertia

Law of Acceleration

Law of Action/Reaction

13. Acceleration depends on what two things, these are?

force and weight

force and mass
force and friction

14. Which one of Newton's Laws best fits this statement?

“More mass means more force needed to accelerate.”

First Law of Motion

Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion

15. When a heavy football player and a light one run into each other, who exerts more
force?
The heavy one
The light one
It is equal

16. Suppose two carts, one twice as massive as the other, fly apart when the
compressed spring that joins them is released. How fast does the heavier cart roll
compared with the lighter cart?
twice as fast
the same
half as fast

17. 10. If you blow up a balloon, and then release it, the balloon will fly away. This is an
illustration of_____________________.
Newton's first law
Newton's second law
