MEDIUM
State Newton's first law of motion. Elaborate it with the help of a suitable example.
EASY
Why is no force required to move an object which is in motion with a constant velocity?
EASY

Define Newton's first law and Inertia.

HARD
A motor car of mass 1200 kg is moving along a straight line with uniform  velocity of 90 km/h. Its velocity is slowed down to 18 km/h in 4 s by an unbalanced external force. Calculate the acceleration and change in momentum. Also calculate the magnitude of the force required.
EASY

EASY
Galileo's experiments show that a constant unbalanced force is required to keep a body moving in uniform motion.
MEDIUM
Give scientific reasons.
When an object falls freely to the ground, its acceleration is uniform.
MEDIUM

Give scientific reasons.
Even though the magnitude of action force and reaction force are equal and their directions are opposite, their effects do not get cancelled.

EASY
Name the scientist who gave the laws of motion.
MEDIUM

Newton's laws are universal.
