Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will test your understanding of Newton's First Law of Motion.
1. Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as the Law of:
Action-Reaction
Acceleration
Inertia
Gravity
2. An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an:
Internal force
Unbalanced force
Balanced force
Gravitational pull
3. Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
4. The property of matter that resists any change in its state of motion is called .
5. A ball rolling across a flat field will eventually stop because of an unbalanced force.
True
False
6. If you push a toy car, it will continue to move forever unless something stops it.
True
False
7. Describe a real-world example of an object at rest staying at rest. What unbalanced force eventually acts on it?
8. Imagine you are riding in a car that suddenly stops. Explain what happens to your body and why, using the concept of inertia.
