10 Questions
According to Newton's laws of motion, a body will remain at rest or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.
A body will remain at rest or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, regardless of forces.
According to Newton's laws of motion, when a body is acted upon by a net force, the body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force.
The net force acting on a body is equal to the product of its acceleration and its mass.
According to Newton's laws of motion, if two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.
If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude and opposite directions.

A body at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
Which equation represents Newton's second law of motion?
F = ma
According to Newton's third law of motion, what happens when two bodies exert forces on each other?
The forces add up and the bodies move in opposite directions.
What did Newton use his laws of motion to investigate and explain?
The motion of physical objects and systems
In what year was Newton's book, 'Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica', originally published?
