 What is the unit called that measures force?

• weight
• meter
• Newton
• kilogram

states that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the motion of the object will not change (object in motion stays in motion, object at rest stays at rest until an outside force acts on it)

• Newton's First Law

• Newton's Second Law

• Newton's Third Law

• Newton's Fourth Law

An object's acceleration depends on its mass and on the size of the unbalanced force acting on it.
