According to Newton’s second law, the acceleration of an object depends on its

• balanced force and mass

• gravity and friction

• unbalanced force and mass

• net force and mass

An object at rest will stay at rest until acted on by an outside force. An object in motion will stay in motion until acted on by an outside force. This is known as....

• force ratio

• inertia

• balanced/unbalanced forces

• friction
