Newton's First and Second Laws

Question 1

What does Newton’s first law of motion say?

Answer 1

A resultant force is required to change the motion of an object

Question 2

What will happen if the resultant force acting on a stationary object is zero?

Answer 2

The object will remain stationary

Question 3

What will happen if the resultant force acting on a moving object is zero?

Answer 3

The object will continue moving at the same velocity

Question 4

What does Newton’s second law of motion say?

Answer 4

A non-zero resultant force will always produce acceleration in the direction of the force

Question 5

Used as Newton’s second law, what is the equation that links force, mass and acceleration?

Answer 5

Question 6

In Newton’s second law of motion, what is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Answer 6

The resultant force is directly proportional to the acceleration produced

Question 7

In Newton’s second law of motion, what is the relationship between acceleration and mass?

Answer 7

Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of an object
