Question 1

What does Newton's First Law state?

  • An object at rest stays at rest
  • and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
  • All objects move at the same speed unless acted upon.
  • For every action
  • there is an equal and opposite reaction.

💡 Hint: Recall the definition of inertia.

Question 2

True or False: Inertia only applies to moving objects.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how a stationary object behaves.

Question 1

A child is riding a bicycle and suddenly stops pedaling. Describe what happens to them and explain why it occurs.

💡 Hint: Think about what keeps the motion going after they stop pedaling.

Question 2

Explain real-world implications of inertia in vehicle safety designs, such as seat belts.

💡 Hint: Consider how inertia can lead to injuries without seat belts.
