Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz

Newton's Laws of Motion

• Sir Isaac Newton formulated the three laws of motion.

First Law (Law of Inertia)

• Inertia refers to an object's tendency to resist changes in its motion, remaining at rest or continuing to move with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

Second Law (Force and Acceleration)

• The second law describes the relationship between an object's mass, acceleration, and the applied force.
• Force (F) is equal to the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its acceleration (a), i.e., F = ma.

Third Law (Action and Reaction)

• The action-reaction pair associated with Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• When object A exerts a force on object B, object B simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.

Test your knowledge of Newton's laws of motion with this quiz. Answer questions about the formulation of the laws, the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force, the concept of inertia, and the action-reaction pair associated with the third law.
