NEWTONS LAWS WORKSHEET - KEY
I. NEWTONS FIRST LAW OF MOTION
1. Newtons first law of motion is also known as the LAW OF INERTIA

2. Newtons first law says that
a. an object that IS NOT MOVING, or is at AT REST will stay at AT REST AND
b. an object that IS MOVING will keep moving with constant VELOCITY which means at the same SPEED and
in the same DISTANCE UNLESS
c. an OUTSIDE force acts on that object.
3. What is inertia?
The resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion
4. What property of an object determines how much inertia it has?

Mass
5. Which of the following has more inertia?

a. Bowling ball or Tennis ball
b. Hammer or Feather
6. When traveling in a car and turning to the right, which way does your body go and why?
Imagine that you are a passenger in a car which is making a right-hand turn. As the car begins to take the
turn to the right, you often feel as though you are sliding to the left. The car is turning to the right due to
the inward force, yet you feel as though you are being forced leftward or outward. In actuality, the car is
beginning its turning motion (to the right) while you continue in a straight line path.
II. NEWTONS SECOND LAW OF MOTION
7. Newtons second law of motion is also known as the LAW OF ACCELERATION
8. Newtons second law says that when an UNBALANCED force is applied to a MASS (OBJECT), it causes it to
ACCELERATE.
9. The greater the force that is applied, the GREATER the acceleration.
10. The lesser the force that is applied, the LESSER the acceleration.
11. If the same force is applied to an object with a large mass, it will have a LESSER acceleration.
12. If the same force is applied to an object with a small mass, it will have a GREATER acceleration.
13. The equation that is used to solve second law problems is F = ma.
a. What does each of the variables mean?
F = FORCE m = MASS a = ACCELERATION
b. What unit of measurement must be used with each variable?
F = kg.m/s2 (N - Newton) m = kg a = m/s2
III. NEWTONS THIRD LAW OF MOTION
14. Newtons third law of motion is also known as the LAW OF ACTION REACTION.
15. Newtons third law says that every time there is an ACTION force, there is also a REACTION force that is
EQUAL in size and acts in the OPPOSITE direction.
16. Newtons third law states that forces must ALWAYS occur in PAIRS.
17. Listed below are ACTION forces. Tell the REACTION force.
a. Your bottom pushing on your desk seat: SEAT PUSHING UP ON YOUR BOTTOM
b. A bat hitting a baseball: BASEBALL HITTING THE BAT
c. Your finger pressing on your phone screen while texting: PHONE SCREEN PUSHING BACK ON YOUR
FINGER
18. What is friction?
The resistance FORCE that one surface or object encounters when moving over another; slowing or
preventing an objects motion between two surfaces.
19. List the four types of friction.
a) STATIC friction: FRICTION AT REST
b) SLIDING friction: FRICTION AS SURFACES SLIDE ACROSS EACH OTHER
c) ROLLING friction: USE OF WHEELS, CYLANDERS, BALL BEARINGS, ETC.
d) FLUID friction: FRICTION INVOLVING LIQUIDS OR GASES
20. Friction that occurs in gases and liquids is called FLUID friction.
21. True or False: Static friction prevents you from slipping when you walk on a sidewalk.
22. True or False: Sliding friction is stronger than static friction.
23. You use SLIDING friction when you leave marks on paper with a pencil lead.
24. The weakest type of friction that occurs between solid surfaces is ROLLING friction.
25. Factors that affect the amount of friction against an object are MASS and ROUGHNESS OF SURFACE
26. When you put on the brakes of your bike, the wheels stop turning. Friction between the wheels and the road
slows your bike to a stop. Which type of friction is this?
a) fluid friction c) sliding friction

b) static friction d) rolling friction
27. The factors that affect gravitational pull on an object are MASS and DISTANCE
28. Define mass:
The amount of matter (substance) an object possess. Measured in kg. Mass tells you how many
particles you have.
29. Define weight:
The measure of the gravitational force pulling on a mass. Measured in Newtons OR pounds (NOT
kg). Weight (w)= mass (m) X acceleration due to gravity (g): Fw = m X g.
30. What is acceleration due to gravity constant? Include units. (numeric value) 9.8 m/s2
Gravity is a force (pull) of attraction between masses. Measured in Newtons.
31. A) What would you observe if you drop a cotton ball and a rock at the same time? B) Would it be
different if you did the same occur if performed in a vacuum tube? Explain your answer.
A) In Earths atmosphere, the cotton ball would hit the ground after the rock due to air friction.
B) In avacuum, the air is removed so the rock and cotoon ball would fall at the same rate (9.8
m/s2)
32. True or False: Your mass would be the same on the Moon as it is on the Earth. Explain your answer
in complete sentences.
The amount of matter (substance) you possess will never change. Mass tells you how many
particles you have.
33. True or False: Your weight would be the same on the Moon as it is on the Earth. Explain your
answer in complete sentences.
REMEMBER: Weight is the measure of the gravitational force pulling on a mass. Due to the
difference in gravitational pull, the weight will be less on the moon than on Earth due to the mass
of the moon being less than that of the Earth.
34. What happens to the gravitational pull between two bodies when the distance between them
increases? Gravitational pull decreases as distance increases. Think of the attraction between
magnets in relation to distance apart.
IV. UNDERSTANDING..
Label each of the following images/descriptions below as being examples of 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law. Then EXPLAIN your
answer!
1st law 2nd law 3rd law
Explanation:
A 20 N force is being applied to a 5kg mass. The

resulting calculation is acceleration. F=ma

Explanation:
Diagram labels action & reaction forces between the

hammer and the nail.
Explanation:
The person would continue moving forward if the

outside force of the seatbelt didnt stop him.

Explanation:

and the cannon displayed.

Explanation:
