REVIEW for Newton’s Laws Quiz
Directions: Use your class notes about Newton’s Laws AND Packet #57 to complete this sheet.
1) What is Newton's first law?
An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest until acted upon by an outside
force.
2) When forces are balanced,
A) there is no change in motion
B) Newton's law doesn't work
C) An object speeds up
D) An object slows down
3) What is another name for Newton's first law? The Law of Inertia
4) What is Newton's second law? The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its
acceleration (Force = Mass x Acceleration)
5) List the other two formulas for Newton's second law.
A) Mass = Force ÷ Acceleration
B) Acceleration = Force ÷ Mass
6) Compared to smaller objects, larger objects in motion
A)
B)
C)
D)
Take more force to cause them to move
Have larger inertia
Take more force to stop their motion
All of the above – All 3 of these mean that larger objects have a greater momentum
7) What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the
mass of an object times gravity. Our weight on Earth is different than our weight on the moon.
8) What is momentum? Momentum measures how much force is required to change an object’s motion.
9) What is the formula for momentum? Momentum = Mass times Velocity (p = mv)
10) What is Newton's Third Law of Motion? For every force, there is an equal and opposite force (For every
action, there is an equal and opposite force)
