CP Ch02.5 Newton's Second Law

According to Newton's Second Law, what happens to the acceleration of an object if its mass is doubled?

• It remains the same

• It is halved

• It is doubled

• It is quadrupled

If the net force on an object is doubled, what will happen to the acceleration?

• It will also double

• It will be halved

• It will remain the same

• It will be quadrupled

If both the net force and the mass are doubled, what happens to the acceleration?

• It remains unchanged

• It doubles

• It halves

• It quadruples

Who discovered the connection between force, mass, and acceleration in his second law of motion?

• Isaac Newton

• Galileo Galilei

• Albert Einstein

• Nikola Tesla

According to Newton's second law, what is acceleration directly proportional to?

• Net force

• Mass

• Velocity

• Distance

What does acceleration depend on?

• Time

• Distance

• Mass

• Speed

What is the equation for Newton's second law?

• velocity = net force / mass

• acceleration = net force * mass

• acceleration = net force / mass

• acceleration = mass / net force
