Question 1

1.

Which statement best describes Newton's First Law?

An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon.

Objects always move in the direction of applied force.

An object in motion stays in motion with speed constant.

All objects experience a net force, regardless of their state.

Question 2

2.

What does Newton's First Law imply about balanced forces?

No change in motion occurs.

Objects move even without a force applied.

Forces cause objects to move at a constant speed.

Motion accelerates constantly.

Question 3

3.

When is an object in equilibrium, per Newton's First Law?

When it's moving at a constant speed.

When only a single force acts upon it.

When the net force acting on it is zero.

When multiple forces move it in opposite directions.

Question 4

4.

How does Newton's First Law relate to inertia?

Inertia drives objects to increase their speed constantly.

Inertia is only present in objects at rest.

Inertia causes objects to resist changes in their motion.

Inertia makes all objects move at the same speed.
