UNIVERSITY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2026
Newton's First Law of Motion - ANS a moving object will continue moving in a straight line at
a constant speed, and a stationary object will remain at rest, unless acted on by an unbalanced
force
Newton's Second Law of Motion - ANS the acceleration produced on a body by a force is
proportional to the magnitude of the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
Newton's Third Law of Motion - ANS for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
what is the formula for Newton's second law? - ANS F=MxA
the _____ the force, the _____ the acceleration - ANS greater; greater
the more _____ the object being acted on by a given force, the _____ the acceleration -
ANS massive; smaller

, Law of Inertia - ANS In the absence of a net external force, an object's state of motion will
remain constant
an object ________ accelerate if there is an absence of a net force - ANS will not
Newton's First Law (conceptually) - ANS if you leave an object alone, it will stay stationary
and wont change its state of motion. To change it, you have to push/pull it (exert force)
Newton's Third Law (conceptually) - ANS whenever a force is applied to an object, that object
exerts an equal or opposite force back on you. (a boxer hitting a punching bag)
State of Motion - ANS a description of how an object is moving (or not moving)
Newton's Universal Law of Gravity - ANS The more massive two objects are, the greater the
force b/w them will be, and the farther apart they are, the less force will be
Gravity - ANS an attractive force that acts on every object in the universe
Characteristics of Gravity - ANS - when you drop things, they fall
- a force b/w any two objects in the universe
- a gravitational force is being pushed down on us, making it so we can stand firmly and not
float
- distance makes the force bigger or smaller
Newton's Equation for universal law of gravity - ANS
