Answers

1
Why was Newton’s invention of the mirror telescope important?
It allowed scientists to study stars more clearly
It helped people see their reflection
It made taking selfies easier
It made houses brighter
2
What is deceleration?
Moving in a straight line
Staying still
Speeding up
Slowing down
3
What happens in a tug-of-war when one team pulls harder?
The teams switch sides
The rope breaks
The rope stays still
The rope moves toward the stronger team
4
Why can you throw a tennis ball farther than a bowling ball?
Tennis balls are softer
Tennis balls are designed to be thrown
Bowling balls are not allowed to be thrown
Bowling balls have more mass
5
What is motion?
When something is completely still
The weight of an object
When something changes position over time
The force of an object
6
How did Newton's curiosity about a falling apple lead to a big discovery?
He realized that all objects pull on each other (gravity)
He invented a new kind of apple pie
He discovered that apples are healthy to eat
He learned how to grow better apple trees
7
What happens if two people push a box in the same direction?
The forces cancel out
The box stays in place
The box moves slower
The box moves faster
8
What did Newton’s discoveries help with in transportation?
They helped grow crops
They helped build stronger wagons
They stopped people from traveling
They helped scientists understand how forces move cars and rockets
9
What does Newton’s life teach us about being a scientist?
Give up when things are hard
Never ask questions
Only work in a group
Being curious and asking "why?" leads to discoveries
10
How do Newton's discoveries help us today?
They only help us understand apples
They help us build better farms
They help us understand how planets move and how to build spacecraft
They only helped people long ago
11
Why do planets orbit the sun?
They move in straight lines
The sun pushes them away
Gravity keeps them in orbit
Newton made them that way
12
What would Newton most likely do if he saw a rocket launch today?
Try to turn it into a farm tool
Run away scared
Be amazed and wonder about the science behind it
Think it was magic
13
Why was Newton’s new math (calculus) important?
It helped people count better
It helps solve complex problems like building bridges and spacecraft
It made homework harder
It was only useful for farming
14
What does acceleration mean?
Slowing down only
Changing speed or direction
Speeding up only
Moving in a straight line
15
What does gravity do?
Pushes objects away from each other
Makes objects move in circles
Only works on Earth
Pulls objects toward each other
16
Why does a book fall faster than a feather?
The feather is afraid of falling
Air resistance slows down the feather
The book is heavier
The book is angry
17
What is mass?
The amount of "stuff" in an object
How much force is used
The space something takes up
How fast something moves
18
What does Newton's Second Law help scientists design?
Sports equipment and space rockets
Clothing
Food recipes
Buildings
19
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
Mass equals force divided by acceleration
Force equals mass times acceleration
Force equals acceleration divided by mass
Acceleration equals mass times force
20
What is one of Newton's greatest discoveries?
The discovery of dinosaurs
The cure for diseases
The invention of electricity
The three laws of motion
21
If a car moves at 60 miles per hour for 2 hours, how far does it travel?
120 miles
90 miles
200 miles
30 miles
22
What is force?
The direction of an object
The speed of an object
A push or pull on an object
Anything that has mass
23
Which of Newton’s achievements shows he was a creative problem solver?
He followed everyone else’s ideas
He invented new tools like the mirror telescope
He stayed on his family’s farm
He never tried new things
24
Why is it harder to push a loaded wagon than an empty one?
The loaded wagon has more mass
The ground is uneven
The wheels are stuck
The wagon is the wrong size
25
Why does a shopping cart move faster when you push harder?
Because more force causes more acceleration
Because the wheels grow
Because it gains mass
Because it loses weight
26
How did Newton change what we know about light?

Neither object moves
The larger object moves farther
The smaller object accelerates more
30
