Newton's 1st Law of Motion
According to Newton's first law of motion, which of the following objects will change its motion? A bike rider on a smooth and level road, pedaling at a constant rate A ball rolling across the floor that bumps into another object A train pulling on another train, each with the same amount of force A chair sitting on the floor with balanced forces acting in opposite directions According to Newton's first law of motion, which of the following conditions would be to be met in order for a book sitting on a table to move? Unbalanced forces act on the book Gravity on the book is reduced to zero Balanced forces act on the book Friction is exerted on the book Newton's first law of motion is also called the law of inertia. Which statement is NOT true of inertia? Forces must be balanced for there to be a change in motion, direction, or speed. If an object is in motion, it will stay in motion until a force acts on it. If a force acts on an object, it can change its direction. Forces must be unbalanced for there to be a change in motion, direction, or speed. The pictures how two boys pushing a box in opposite directions. What caused the position of the box to change? The forces were balanced, which made the box easy to move The student on the right used more force than the student on the left The student on the left used more force than the student on the right The surface was smooth, so there was no friction Two students are pushing on opposite sides of a door at the same time. Student 1 is pushing with a force of 156 N to the right. Student 2 is pushing with a force of 256 N to the left. Which diagram shows the forces correctly? Two teams are playing tug-of-war. Which statements below are true about this game of tug-of-war? Select two correct answers. The forces are balanced, and there will be no motion There will be motion, and the rope will move to the right There will be motion, and the rope will move to the left The net force on the rope is 37 N The net force on the rope is 43 N The following diagraph shows the forces acting on a ball. In which direction and with how much force will the ball move? West with 0.7 N East with 6.3 N East with 0.7 N West with 6.3 N A 17-newton (17 N) force and a 25-newton (25 N) forced are applied to a wagon at the same point in opposite directions. What would be the effect of these forces?Th The wagon will move in a direction perpendicular to both forces The wagon will not move in any direction The wagon will move in the direction of the 17 N force The wagon will move in the direction of the 25 N force How does an object's mass impact the inertia of that object? Give an example Describe what is meant by inertia. Give examples in which an object is in motion and at rest. Explain how Newton's first law applies to riding a bicycle.
