📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice

Choose the best answer for each question.

1. Newton's First Law is also known as the law of:

Acceleration

Inertia

Action-Reaction

Gravity

2. According to Newton's Second Law, if you double the force applied to an object while keeping mass constant, the acceleration will:

Stay the same

Double

Triple

Be cut in half

3. A book sitting on a table demonstrates Newton's First Law because:

It has mass

It remains at rest until a force acts on it

Gravity pulls it down

The table pushes it up

4. Which equation represents Newton's Second Law?

F = ma

a = F/m

m = F/a

All of the above

5. When you walk forward, you push backward on the ground. The ground pushes forward on you. This is an example of:

Newton's First Law

Newton's Second Law

Newton's Third Law

The law of gravity

🧮 Part 2: Problem Solving

Show your work for all calculations.

6. A 10 kg box is pushed with a force of 50 N. Calculate the acceleration of the box.
7. A car with a mass of 1,200 kg accelerates at 3 m/s². What force is the engine applying?

✏️ Part 3: Short Answer

Answer each question in complete sentences.

8. Explain why passengers in a car lurch forward when the car suddenly stops. Use Newton's First Law in your explanation.
9. Give one real-world example of Newton's Third Law and explain the action-reaction pair involved.
10. A feather and a hammer are dropped on the moon (where there is no air resistance). Explain what happens and why, using Newton's laws.
