Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Good luck!

1. Which of Newton's Laws states that 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?

a

Newton's First Law

b

Newton's Second Law

c

Newton's Third Law

d

The Law of Gravity

2. What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, as described by Newton's Second Law?

a

Force = Mass / Acceleration

b

Force = Mass + Acceleration

c

Force = Mass x Acceleration

d

Force = Acceleration - Mass

3. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion is called  .

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

5. A greater   is needed to accelerate a more massive object.

6. If you push a small car and a large truck with the same amount of force, the truck will accelerate faster.
