A. A book resting on a table.

B. A ball rolling on a frictionless surface.

C. A car accelerating when the gas pedal is pressed.

D. A satellite orbiting Earth in space.

a) Define Newton's First Law of Motion and explain its significance in understanding the concept of inertia. [3]

b) A book is placed on a table. Identify the forces acting on the book and explain how Newton's First Law is applicable in this scenario. [2]

a) Describe the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration as stated by Newton's Second Law of Motion. [2]

b) A car of mass 1000 kg accelerates from rest to 20 m/s in 10 seconds. Calculate the net force exerted on the car during this time. [3]

a) State Newton's Third Law of Motion and provide a real-world example illustrating this law. [2]

b) In a tug-of-war game, if team A exerts a force of 500 N to the right, what force does team B exert and in which direction? [2]

a) Define inertia and explain how it is related to Newton's First Law of Motion. [2]

b) A 5 kg object is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. If a horizontal force of 10 N is applied to the object, calculate its acceleration. [2]

c) How long will it take for the object to reach a speed of 20 m/s starting from rest? [3]

a) Differentiate between weight and mass. [2]

b) If an object has a mass of 50 kg, calculate its weight on Earth. (Use g = 9.81 m/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity) [2]

c) How would the weight of the object change if it were taken to the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth? [3]
