8 Questions

According to the Law of Inertia, what is required to change the state of an object?

An unbalanced force

In the Law of Inertia, which property of an object resists the initiation or change in linear motion?

Mass

What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass increases?

It decreases

What is the relationship between the strength of the unbalanced force and the acceleration of an object, based on the Law of Acceleration?

Directly proportional

According to the Law of Acceleration, how does the acceleration of an object relate to its mass?

Inversely proportional

If a large mass and a small mass are pushed with the same force, how do their accelerations compare?

The smaller mass accelerates more

Which scenario best represents Newton's 3rd Law of Action and Reaction?

A soccer player kicking a ball

In the context of Newton's laws, what does it mean when it is said 'the strength of the reaction is always equal to the strength of the action'?

The reaction force has the same magnitude and opposite direction to the action force

This quiz provides an overview of the Law of Inertia, which states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. It also covers the concept of inertia as the property of an object that resists changes in motion.
