on the space provided before each number. FOR STRICT COMPLIANCE, ANY FORM OF ALTERATION WILL
BE CONSIDERD WRONG. (15 points)
______1. According to Newton's second law of motion, what is the relationship between the force
applied to an object, its mass, and its acceleration?
A. Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
B. Force is inversely proportional to mass and acceleration.
C. Force is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to acceleration.
D. Force is directly proportional to acceleration and inversely proportional to mass.
______2. According to Newton’s first law of motion, a moving object that is not acted on by an
unbalanced force will __________.
A. accelerate C. change its momentum
B. remain in motion D. eventually come to a stop
______3. A person jumps from a moving boat onto the dock. What happens to the boat as a result of this
action, as explained by Newton's laws of motion?
A. The boat comes to a complete stop.
B. The boat moves backward due to the person's jump.
C. The boat maintains its forward velocity due to inertia.
D. The boat moves forward to compensate for the person's jump.
______4. When you push an object on a table, it eventually comes to rest due to the opposing force of
friction. Which of Newton's laws of motion explains this behavior?
A. Newton's Third Law, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
B. Newton's Second Law, which states that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
C. Newton's First Law, which states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted
upon by an external force.
D. None of the above.
______5. How does the force of gravity on an astronaut orbiting in the space shuttle compare with the force
of gravity on the same astronaut when she is standing on the earth's surface?
A. The force of gravity is the same both places
B. The force of gravity is less in the space shuttle
C. There is no gravitational force in orbit because the astronaut is weightless
D. Not enough information was given to answer the question
______6. You're riding a bicycle downhill and apply the brakes to slow down. What law of motion
explains why the bicycle slows down when you use the brakes?
A. Newton's First Law C. Newton's Third Law
B. Newton's Second Law D. All of the above
______7. If two objects have the same mass but different forces are applied to each, which one will have a
greater acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law?
A. Mass doesn't affect acceleration. C. The one with the larger force applied.
B. Both will have the same acceleration. D. The one with the smaller force applied.

A. Newton's First Law C. Newton's Third Law
B. Newton's Second Law D. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
______10. When a person jumps off a diving board, they push the board downward, causing it to move in the
opposite direction. Which law of motion describes this action?
A. Newton's First Law, which is also known as the law of inertia.
B. Newton's Second Law, which relates force, mass, and acceleration.
C. Newton's Third Law, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
D. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which describes the gravitational attraction between
objects.
______11. You are in a car that suddenly stops when the driver hits the brakes. What law of motion
explains why you feel yourself lurch forward in the car?
A. Newton's First Law C. Newton's Third Law
B. Newton's Second Law D. None of the above
______12. You are piloting a spaceship in deep space. Due to a technical issue, the spaceship's engines are
malfunctioning, and you need to manually control the thrusters. According to Newton's Second Law,
if you want to increase the spaceship's acceleration, should you apply more force or decrease its
mass, and why?
A. Apply more force because it decreases mass.
B. Decrease mass because it directly increases acceleration.
C. Decrease mass because it inversely increases acceleration.
D. Apply more force because it directly increases acceleration.

second squared, what is the mass of the block, according to Newton's second law?
A. 2 kilograms B. 5 kilograms C. 20 kilograms D. 10 kilograms
______15. If a force of 26 N is exerted on two balls, one with a mass of 0.52 kg and the other with a mass of
0.78 kg, which ball will have the greater acceleration?
