A ball is thrown straight up in the air. According to Newton's first law of motion, what is the reason for the ball falling back to Earth?D) A force has acted on it.

Feedback: Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest, or keep moving in a straight line with constant speed, unless a force acts on it.

If a force applied to an object with mass of 1 kg causes the object to accelerate 1 m/s per second, what is the force that is applied?

A) 1,000 N

B) 10 N

C) 1 N

D) 100 N

If a force applied to an object with mass of 1 kg causes the object to accelerate 1 m/s per second, what is the force that is applied?

C) 1 N

Feedback: A Newton (N) is defined as the force that

produces an acceleration of 1 m/s2 when acting on a 1-kg mass.

If a runner maintains a constant speed of 12 km/h, how long will it take him to complete a marathon race of 26.4 km?

A) 2.18 h

B) 2.2 h

C) 3.14 h

D) 5.3 h

If a runner maintains a constant speed of 12 km/h, how long will it take him to complete a marathon race of 26.4 km?

B) 2.2 h

Feedback: Divide the distance by the speed.

What causes surface winds to blow from the ocean towards land?

A Energy from oceanic tectonic plate movement transfers through the ocean to the overlying air, creating wind movement.

B The radiant energy from the sun warms the land more than the water, therefore the air above the land becomes less dense.

C The radiant energy from the sun warms the water more than the land, therefore the air above the land becomes more dense.

D Energy from the sun electrically charges air molecules, causing them to vibrate and create wind movement.
