⚡ Newton's Three Laws of Motion
This quiz explores Newton's foundational laws of motion and their real-world applications. **What you'll learn:** - State and explain Newton's first law of motion (inertia) - Apply Newton's second law to calculate force, mass, and acceleration - Recognize action–reaction pairs in Newton's third law - Solve problems involving forces and motion - Identify which law applies to everyday scenarios
