Questions Related to newton's first law of motion

Newton's first law of motion is also called Galileo's law of:

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. Conservation of momentum

  2. Inertia

  3. Friction

  4. Conservation of mass

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that the object tends to remain in the initial state untill no external force is applied to it which is also called Galileo's law of inertia.

When a body is stationary :

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. there is no force acting on it

  2. the combination of forces acting on it balance each other

  3. the force acting on it are not in contact with it

  4. the body is in vacuum

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For the body to be stationary, net external force acting on it must be equal to zero which is possible only when the combination of forces acting on it balance each other.

Which law is involved in the act of cleaning a carpet by beating it with a stick ? 

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. First law of motion.

  2. Second law of motion

  3. Law of conservation of energy

  4. Law of conservation of mass

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The dust particles get separated out from the carpet by beating it with a stick due to their inertia of rest which is explained by Newton's first law of motion.

Idea of inertia came from:

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. Newton's third law of motion

  2. Newton's second law of motion

  3. Newton's first law of motion

  4. Law of gravitation

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that the body tends to remain in the initial state if no external force is applied to it which gave the idea of inertia.

Newton's law of motion were stated by the scientist named as Charles-Augustin 

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Newton's laws of motion published in $1687$ by the scientist $Issac$ $Newton$ in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy).

Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state

  2. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it move forward and may fall off

  3. Both a and b are true

  4. None of them is True

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it moves forward and may fall off. That's why it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.

The law that gives a qualitative definition of force is :

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. Newton's second law of motion

  2. Law of inertia

  3. Newton's third law of motion

  4. Law of gravitation

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Law of inertia states that the body tends to remain in the same state (regarding its velocity and direction) untill no external force is acting on it.

Hence option B is correct.

Which of the following equations or principle is most suitable to solve given question.  

A block of mass $m$ remains at rest on a table when a piece of paper is pulled out from under it.

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. Newton's first law(law of inertia)

  2. Newton's second law ($F _{net}$ = ma)

  3. Newton's third law (For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)

  4. Newton's law of universal gravitation

  5. Conservation of linear momentum

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Newton's First Law of Motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Hence a piece of mass remains at rest on a table when a piece of paper is suddenly pulled out from under it.

If no force acts on a body, then what will happen to it?

physics force and newton's laws of motion first law of motion newton's first law of motion momentum and newton's laws

  1. It does not change its shape.

  2. It continues to move but with less speed.

  3. It changes its direction.

  4. It can either remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The force is define as $F=ma$
hence acceleration is $a=\dfrac{F}{m}$
if  balanced force acts on a body F is  zero hence body must not be accelerated. hence by eq of motion $u=v=at,a=0\implies u=v$ if v=0,u=0
It can either remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line.
