Newton's Third law

Multiple Choice

Newton's Third Law States...

Objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest

Force is equal to mass times acceleration

For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Multiple Choice

A player hits a ball with a bat. The action force is the impact of the bat against the ball. The reaction force is...

The grip of the player's hands on the ball

the air resistance of the ball

the force of the ball against the bat

Multiple Choice

A player throws a ball. The action force is the player impact on the ball. The reaction force is...

The force of the ball impact on the player

The force of the grip of the ball

The celebration the player is thinking of

Multiple Choice

An archer shoots an arrow. The action force is the bowstring against the arrow, the reaction force is...

Air resistance against the bow

the arrow's push against the bowstring

the grip of the archer's hand on the bow

Multiple Choice

According to Newton's Third Law, if someone is riding a wakeboard and then jumps off, the wakeboard will travel in the opposite direction because...

the mass of the wakeboard is the same as the person jumping off

the pull of gravity on the person is sthe same as on the wakeboard

the air resistance on the person is great and the friction on the wakeboard is small

for the force that sent the person forward, there is an equal force pushing back on the wakeboard.

Multiple Choice

An archer shoots an arrow. The action force is the bowstring against the arrow, the reaction force is...

Air resistance against the bow

the arrow's push against the bowstring

the grip of the archer's hand on the bow

0 N

10 N

20 N

30 N

Multiple Choice

True

False

Multiple Choice

A person is attracted towards the center of Earth by a 440N gravitational force. The force with which Earth is attracted toward the person is

More than 440N

Less than 440N.

The same, 440N.

Multiple Choice

Whenever an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction to that of the first object.

Always true

Sometimes true

Never true

Multiple Choice

By pushing backwards a roller skater moves forward. This is an example of Newton's

First Law

Second Law

Third Law

Law of Gravity

Multiple Choice

Which law explains how rockets are launched into space?

Newton's First Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Newton's Fourth Law of Motion

Multiple Choice

What happens when two objects, such as a baseball and a bat, collide?

They hit each other with the same force in the same direction.

They hit each other with the same force in opposite directions.

They hit each other with unequal force in opposite directions.

One remains still while the other one moves in the same direction.

Multiple Choice

Which best explains why we are able to accelerate forward when starting to run?

As one leg moves backward, it provides an equal and opposite force for the other foot to move forward.

No acceleration takes place. Runners are always at a fixed velocity.

The striking foot pushes backward against the ground. The friction with the ground provides an equal and opposite force forward.

The runner's upper body quickly leans forward, causing the entire body to begin accelerating forward

Multiple Choice

How many Laws of Motion are there?

Multiple Choice

According to Newton's third law forces come in pairs?

True

False

Multiple Choice

According to Newton's Third law the strength or magnitude of forces will be...

smaller

equal

larger
