Grade 11- Teacher: Mr. Ferdinand C. Gondraneos

I. Direction: Each of the items below is best represented by one of the Newton’s Laws of
Motion. Write a 1, 2 or 3 for each of the following to indicate whether it’s Newton’s
1st(Inertia), 2nd (Acceleration)or 3rd law of (Interaction).

1. ______A climber pulls down on a rope causing his body to lift upward and rise along the rope.
2. ______Force= Mass x Acceleration
3. ______Two bumper cars collide into each other and each car jolts backwards
4. ______When you give your friend a lift on your bike you have to pedal harder and faster to
keep the same speed (acceleration) as you had when you were on your bike alone
5. ______For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
6.. ______A smaller cannon ball leaves a cannon much faster than a larger, heavier cannon ball
fired at the same time
7. ______When you are standing in a subway train and the train suddenly stops but your body
continues to move forward.
8. ______It is much easier to carry your backpack when it is empty rather than when it’s full of
textbooks.
9. ______A boy is going down a slide. As he reaches the bottom, friction causes him to slow
down and stop.
