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?
First Law
Second Law
Third Law
Law of Gravity
2. A larger force is required to accelerate a more massive object. This is an example of which of Newton's Laws?
First Law
Second Law
Third Law
Law of Conservation of Energy
3. Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as the Law of .
4. The force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma). This is Newton's Law.
5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite .
6. If you push a wall, the wall pushes back on you with the same amount of force.
