What does Newton's first law of motion state?
What does Newton's first law of motion state?
- The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
- The change in motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed and is made in the direction of the straight line in which that force is impressed.
- The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon the object.
- An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. (correct)
What is the formula for force according to Newton's second law of motion?
What is the formula for force according to Newton's second law of motion?
- Force = Change in Momentum / Time
- Force = Mass / Acceleration
- Force = Momentum × Time
- Force = Mass × Acceleration (correct)

- The change in motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed and is made in the direction of the straight line in which that force is impressed.
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (correct)
- The force of an object is equal to the mass of the object times its acceleration.
