Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz

Newton's laws of motion are three basic laws of classical mechanics that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it.

The first law of motion states that a body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.

The second law of motion states that when a body is acted upon by a net force, the body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force.

<p>The third law of motion states that if two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.</p> Signup and view all the answers
