Newtons Law of Motion

Question 1

a change in an object’s position over time

Answer 1

motion

Question 2

the object that appears to stay in place

Answer 2

reference point

Question 3

the distance an object moves in a given amount of time

Answer 3

speed

Question 4

a quantity that describes the speed of the object and its direction of travel.

Answer 4

velocity

Question 5

the rate at which velocity changes

Answer 5

acceleration

Question 6

the tendency of objects to resist any change in motion

Answer 6

inertia

Question 7

newton’s first law of motion

Answer 7

law of inertia

Question 8

can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Answer 8

newton’s second law

Question 9

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Answer 9

newton’s third law

Question 10

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Answer 10

newton’s first law
