10 Questions
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting on it?
It moves at a constant speed in a straight line
In Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it?
Acceleration is equal to the net force multiplied by mass
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two interacting bodies?
The forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions
What is the original publication where Isaac Newton first stated the three laws of motion?
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica
What are the limitations to Newton's laws of motion as described in the text?
New theories are necessary for objects moving at very high speeds, very massive, or very small
According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to a body when no force is acting on it?
It remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line
In Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it?
The body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force
According to Newton's third law of motion, what can be said about the forces exerted by two interacting bodies?
The forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions
