Instructions: Answer all questions below. For multiple-choice questions, select the best option. For short-answer questions, write your response clearly in the space provided.
A

Newton's First Law

Questions about inertia and objects at rest or in motion.
1.
What does Newton's First Law state about an object at rest or in motion?
[2 marks]
2.
Which of the following best describes inertia?
[1 mark]
AThe force experienced when an object accelerates
BThe tendency of an object to resist changes to its state of motion
CThe energy stored in a stretched spring
DThe rate at which an object speeds up
3.
An object is moving at constant speed in a straight line. Which force is required to keep it moving?
[2 marks]
B

Newton's Second Law

Questions about force, mass, and acceleration.
1.
Newton's Second Law is often written as F = ma. What does each letter represent?
[2 marks]
2.
If a force of 10 N is applied to an object with a mass of 2 kg, what is its acceleration?
[2 marks]
3.
A car with a mass of 1500 kg accelerates at 2 m/s². What is the force acting on it?
[2 marks]
4.
Which of the following best illustrates Newton's Second Law?
[1 mark]
AAn object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an external force
BA heavier object requires more force to accelerate at the same rate
CObjects tend to resist changes to their motion
DForce is equal to mass times acceleration
C

Newton's Third Law

Questions about action and reaction forces.
1.
What does Newton's Third Law state about forces?
[2 marks]
2.

BLess force
CNo force
DA different force
3.
Explain why a rocket can move forward in space.
[2 marks]
D

Application of Newton's Laws

Real-world scenarios and problem-solving.

[2 marks]
3.
Which of the following demonstrates inertia?
[1 mark]
