What does Newton's Second Law say?

Select ALL that are true

• The force on an object is defined by the mass of the object and its acceleration rate.

• The acceleration rate of an object is defined by the force on the object and the object's mass.

• F = m * a

• Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

• Gravity causes masses to attract.

Crumple zones in a car make it safer in a crash because...

• It takes more time to stop the car in a crash. More time means less acceleration.

• It takes less time to stop the car in a crash. Less time means less acceleration.

• The car's energy is destroyed as the zone crumples.

• Momentum is converted into kinetic energy.
