Questions and Answers

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object remains at rest or in constant motion unless:

  • acted upon by another object
  • acted upon by friction
  • acted upon by a force (correct)
  • acted upon by gravity

What does Newton's second law of motion state about the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

  • Force is inversely proportional to mass and directly proportional to acceleration
  • Force is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to acceleration
  • Force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration (correct)
  • Force is inversely proportional to both mass and acceleration

According to Newton's third law of motion, when two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces:

  • have the same magnitude but opposite directions (correct)
  • have the same magnitude and same direction
  • have different magnitudes and same direction
  • have different magnitudes and opposite directions
