Newton’s First Law

Question 1

What is overall force also known as?

Answer 1

Resultant force

Question 2

What is Newton’s first law?

Answer 2

A force is needed to make something move, to change the speed it’s moving it or to change the direction it’s moving in.

Question 3

If the resultant force on a stationary object is 0…

Answer 3

…the object will remain stationary

Question 4

If the resultant force on a moving object is 0…

Answer 4

…it will continue to move at the same velocity

Question 5

If am object is moving at a constant velocity, what are its’ forces?

Answer 5

Balanced

Question 6

If there is a non-zero resultant force on an object…

Answer 6

…it’s velocity will change (it will accelerate in the direction of the force)

Question 7

What are the five things which can happen as a result of a resultant force acting on an object?

Answer 7

Starting, stopping, speeding up, slowing down, changing direction.

Question 8

How would you show a resultant force on a free body force diagram?

Answer 8

The total size of the arrow/s pointing in one direction will be greater than the other.
