Grade 6 Forces and Motion
Newton's first law of motion states that
  1. when a force is applied on an object, an equal force is applied by the object in the opposite direction.
  2. an object will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line with constant speed unless a force acts on it.
  3. when a force acts on an object, its acceleration is in the same direction as the force.
  4. acceleration is calculated by dividing the force exerted on an object by the mass of the object.
Grade 6 Forces and Motion
                is speed in a given direction.
  1. Force
  2. Acceleration
  3. Velocity
  4. Momentum
Grade 6 Forces and Motion

  1. True
  2. False
Grade 6 Forces and Motion
Select the correct law of motion for this situation.

A rocket launches sending gases down to the ground, causing the rocket to move upward.
  1. action and reaction
  2. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion

Grade 6 Forces and Motion
Select the correct law of motion for this situation.

It took one person to pick up a box full of packing peanuts and it took two people to pick up the same size box full of books.
  1. action and reaction
  2. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion
  3. force = mass x acceleration
