Forces Assignment

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

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

• An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a force.

• Force equals mass times acceleration.

• The net force on an object is the sum of all forces acting on it.

What determines whether an object will move or stay still?

• The type of force acting on it.

• The net force acting on it.

• The speed of the object.

• The direction of the force.
