  1. 1 What Is Newton's First Law Of Motion?

    1. An object in motion will stay in motion until another force acts upon it
    2. An object at rest will stay at rest until another force acts upon it
    3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
    4. Force is equal to mass times acceleration
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  2. 2 What Type Of Forces Are At Work In An Action-reaction Pair?

    1. Magnetic forces
    2. Gravitational forces
    3. Mechanical forces
    4. Balanced forces
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  3. 3 What Is The Difference Between Momentum And Inertia?

    1. Momentum relates to mass while inertia relates to acceleration
    2. Momentum relates to velocity while inertia relates to mass
    3. Momentum relates to acceleration while inertia relates to velocity
    4. Momentum and inertia are the same thing
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  4. 4 What Is The Formula For Calculating Force?

    1. Force = Mass x Velocity
    2. Force = Mass x Acceleration
    3. Force = Velocity x Acceleration
    4. Force = Mass + Acceleration
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  5. 5 What Is The Formula For Calculating Work?

    1. Work = Velocity x Distance
    2. Work = Force x Distance
    3. Work = Mass + Distance
    4. Work = Force x Acceleration
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  6. 6 How Is Force Related To Energy?

    1. Force is the same as energy
    2. Force is a measure of energy per mass
    3. Energy is a measurement of force over time
    4. Energy is a measure of force per distance
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  7. 7 What Is The Relationship Between Force And Acceleration?

    1. Force causes acceleration
    2. Acceleration causes force
    3. Force and acceleration are unrelated
    4. They both have an equal effect on one another
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  8. 8 What Does Friction Create?

    1. Sound
    2. Light
    3. Heat
    4. Pressure
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  9. 9 What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

    1. An object in motion will stay in motion until another force acts upon it
    2. An object at rest will stay at rest until another force acts upon it
    3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
    4. Force is equal to mass times acceleration
    Correct!
    Wrong!

  10. 10 What Is The Formula For Calculating Acceleration?

    1. Acceleration = Force x Distance
    2. Acceleration = Mass ÷ Velocity
    3. Acceleration = Velocity x Time
    4. Acceleration = Force ÷ Mass
    Correct!
    Wrong!
