Short Answer Questions

• Q1. In your own words, explain Newton's First Law of Motion and give one real-world example.

• Q2. A 10 N force is applied to a 2 kg object. Using Newton's Second Law, calculate the acceleration of the object. Show your work.

Reflection

• Which of Newton's three laws do you feel most confident explaining, and which one is still confusing for you? What question do you still have about it?

Multiple Choice

• Q1. A book is sitting still on a desk. According to Newton's First Law, what must be true about the forces acting on the book?

  • There are no forces acting on the book at all.
  • The forces acting on the book are balanced.
  • Gravity is the only force acting on the book.
  • The desk is pushing the book upward with more force than gravity pulls it down.

  Answer: The forces acting on the book are balanced.

• Q2. According to Newton's Third Law, when a swimmer pushes backward against the water, what happens?

  • The water absorbs the force and the swimmer stays still.
  • The swimmer moves backward in the same direction as the push.
  • The water pushes the swimmer forward with an equal and opposite force.
  • The water pushes back with a greater force than the swimmer applied.

  Answer: The water pushes the swimmer forward with an equal and opposite force.
