Back

Front

What is the net force when there are multiple forces acting on an object?

Back

The overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

Which statement describes how force, mass, and acceleration are related?

Back

Front

Which type of force(s) will cause a change in an object's motion?

Back

Unbalanced force

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front
