Worksheet - Newton's First Law of Motion

The document contains an 11 question worksheet about Newton's First Law of Motion. The questions test understanding of concepts such as inertia, balanced vs unbalanced forces, examples of Newton's First Law in pictures, and calculating net force. Key terms defined include inertia, force, and net force. The document aims to assess comprehension of Newton's First Law which states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
