Questions and Answers

According to Newton's first law, what happens to an object in the absence of external forces?

  • It experiences a constant acceleration
  • It comes to a complete stop
  • It oscillates between rest and motion
  • It continues in its state of rest or uniform motion (correct)

How does Newton's first law define force?

  • Force is the source of all motion
  • Force is that which causes a change in motion (correct)
  • Force is only relevant in the absence of motion
  • Force is directly proportional to velocity

According to Newton's second law, what does the equation F = ma describe?

  • The relationship between mass and velocity
  • The relationship between force and velocity
  • The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration (correct)
  • The relationship between force and displacement
