Newton’s First Law of Motion (8/16/18)

8. Newton’s First Law of Motion states that:

c. An object in motion will stay in motion, an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted
upon by an outside force
d. The bigger the force, the greater the acceleration of an object

move, unless something else moves or stops the object” is called _________
a. Gravity
b. Inertia

going
b. if the wheels of the board hit a rock, you can stop but the skateboard keeps
going
c. if the wheels of the board hit a rock, both you and the skateboard stop
d. if the wheels of the board hit a rock, both you and the skateboard keep moving
12. The law also states that the ball will stay in a state of ​_________________​ in the absence of an
___________​ force.

For Questions #17-19 make sure to answer in ​COMPLETE SENTENCES:

17. Short Answer:​ In your own words, explain Newton’s First Law of Motion. Then provide your own real life
example and explain how this demonstrates Newton’s First Law of Motion.

18. Short Answer:​ ​How does the First Law of Motion relate to seatbelt
safety?

19. Short Answer:​ ​Look at the image. What is the net force? Is this
balanced or unbalanced? Will the rope move? If yes, in what direction?
If no, why not?
