Question

name:
newtons first law of motion (worksheet)
q.1. write t or true if the statement is true; write f or false if the statement is false.

1. newton’s first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia.
2. the more mass an object has, the less inertia the object has.
3. force is defined as the push or pull on an object that has magnitude and direction.
4. if an object is at rest, no forces are acting on the object.
5. an eraser sits on the table forever unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.

Explanation:

1. Newton's first law is indeed the law of inertia.
2. More mass means more inertia, not less.
3. Force is defined as a push or pull with magnitude and direction.
4. An object at rest can have balanced forces acting on it.
5. An object at rest stays at rest until an unbalanced force acts on it.

Answer:

1. T
2. F
3. T
4. F
5. T
