Name the three laws of motion proposed by Newton?
Law of Inertia: An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force. Law of Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass. Law of Reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton's Laws of Motion
Law of Inertia: An object in motion or at rest will stay that way unless acted upon by an outside force. Law of Acceleration: Force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration. Law of Reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Concepts:
Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motion were first published in 1687 in his work 'Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica' Newton's first law of motion, often referred to as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Which law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue with a constant velocity?
- First Law
- Second Law
- Third Law
Which law of motion is also known as the law of inertia?
- First Law
- Second Law
- Third Law
What does Newton's second law state?
- Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration
- Acceleration equals force divided by mass
- Mass equals force divided by acceleration
What does Newton's third law state?
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.
- The acceleration of an object depends on the magnitude and direction of the net external force acting on it.
According to Newton's first law, what happens to a moving ball when it hits a wall?
- It bounces back with equal but opposite force.
- It stops moving completely.
- It continues moving with constant velocity.
