In a collision, how can you determine which object experienced a stronger force?

Back

You can determine which object experienced a stronger force by comparing the forces acting on them, such as the force on the orange boat in crash two.

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect the acceleration of an object when a force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.
