Newton’s 1st Law, Also known as Inertia

Which of these statements is true?

Zero net force means there is a balanced amount of force

How are Mass and Weight different?

Weight looks at all the forces acting on an object

Questions 15

Answers

1
What is Mass?
The total weight of an object
The amount of weight and space an object takesMass
The amount of matter in an object
The amount of space taken up by an object
2
What is an example of Force or Forces at work?
Moving a heavy object
All of the above
An object not moving
Gravity
3
“The rate at which something travels in a given path” is defined by which term?
Acceleration
Velocity
Speed
Force
4
What is Newton’s 2nd Law?
Mass = Acceleration * Force
Every action has an opposite and equal reaction
Gravity is a force
Force = Mass * Acceleration
5
What would be a good example of an object with a Balanced Force?
A book sitting on a desk
A balloon slowly drifting in the air
A heavy train that cannot be stopped easily
A ball that rolls in a perfectly straight line
6
What is the Acceleration Due to Gravity on Earth?
9.8 m/s2
98 m/s2
.98 m/s2
9.8 mm/s2
7
Which one of Newton’s 3 Laws explains why a bird can fly?
1st Law
2nd Law
3rd Law
All of them
8
“An object at rest/an object in motion will stay at rest/in motion unless acted upon” is...?
Newton’s 1st Law
Also known as Inertia
Newton’s 2nd Law
Newton’s 3rd Law
9
Who invented the Three Laws of Physics we need to know?
Einstein
Inertia
Newton
Neutron
10
Which of these statements is true?
Unbalanced force causes movement upward
Zero net force means there is a balanced amount of force
Unbalanced force is not what causes movement
Zero net force means there are no forces acting on an object
11
Which of these examples shows a net force to the right?
Top example
Bottom example
Both examples
Neither example
12
How are Mass and Weight different?
There is no difference
Weight looks at all the forces acting on an object
Mass looks at all the forces acting on an object
Mass is affected by gravity
13
How does Newton’s 3rd Law explain how a bird can fly?
It pushes the air down, which pushes the bird up
It has wings and hallow bones so it has less mass
The air is less dense than the bird
It flaps its wings with enough force to overcome gravity
14
Which of Newton’s Laws will you use to build your best Mousetrap Racer?
1st Law
All of them
3rd Law
2nd Law
15
Acceleration can change by:
All of the above
Changing direction
Decreasing speed
Increasing speed
