Front

The formula that we use in Newton's Second law is ... ?

Back

F = MA

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What does the term 'net force' refer to?

Back

The overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force remains constant.

Front
