1. A - Newton's third law (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)
2. C - Newton's first law (an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force)
3. C - Newton's first law (an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force)
4. B - Newton's second law (the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass)
5. A - Newton's third law (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)
6. B - Newton's second law (the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass)
Match the scenario to the Newton's Law it describes.
1. As a man steps forward off of a boat, the boat moves backwards.
2. A stationary book on the table must be picked up in order for it to move.
3. A soccer ball rests on a field until it is kicked.
4. Increasing the mass on an object experiencing the same force would decrease the acceleration.
5. A man pushes on a wall, and the wall pushes back on the man.
6. A rocket made with lighter composite materials will accelerate faster than a heavier one.
