: The Newton’s First Law of Motion Quiz tests your understanding of the Law of Inertia. This quiz also measures your expertise regarding the different theories surrounding Newton’s First Law of Motion.
1.
Newton’s First Law of Motion is also called:
a.
The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force on it
b.
The law of inertia
c.
The nature of forces
d.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
2.
What does the first law of motion state?
a.
An object at rest does not tend to stay at rest and an object in motion does not tend to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
b.
An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion does not tend to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
c.
An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
d.
An object at rest does not tend to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
3.
The law of inertia predicts:
a.
The behavior of stationery objects
b.
The behavior of fluctuating objects
c.
The behavior of moving objects
d.
The behavior of speeding objects
4.
The general formulation of the law of inertia was devised by:
a.
Galileo’s pupils and Descartes
b.
Confucius
c.
Albert Einstein
d.
Thomas Edison
5.
Galileo used the law of inertia to explain:
a.
Why we are pulled in the opposite direction when we pull an object
b.
Why we do not feel the earth’s motion
c.
Why the acceleration of objects is directly proportional to the force causing it
d.
Why when we exert our weight on the floor, the floor exerts an equal force on us
6.
Which of the following depicts the first law of motion?
a.
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force causing it.
b.
Every body remains at rest unless it is compelled to change that state by a force acting upon it.
c.
Every body moves with constant velocity in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by a force acting upon it.
d.
The distance which the object traverses is directly proportional to the square of time.
7.
What do we call the force of two surfaces in contact or the force of a medium acting on a moving object?
a.
Heat
b.
Acceleration
c.
Friction
d.
Energy
8.
Who is the philosopher who lived in China and said that the cessation of motion is due to the opposing force; if there is no opposing force, the motion will never stop?
a.
Aristotle
b.
Mozi
c.
Newton
d.
Confucius
9.

b.
Johannes Kepler
c.
Galileo Galilee
d.
Albert Einstein
11.
Where did Isaac Asimov quote that “This tendency for motion (or for rest) to maintain itself steadily unless made to do otherwise by some interfering force can be viewed as a kind of "laziness," a kind of unwillingness to make a change.”?
a.
Understanding Physics
b.
Understanding Motion
c.
Understanding Inertia
d.
Understanding Friction
12.
