Understanding Newton's Second Law

What does Newton's Second Law state about the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

• Force equals mass times acceleration.

• Force equals acceleration minus mass.

• Force equals mass divided by acceleration.

• Force equals mass plus acceleration.

In the demonstration, what was used to keep the force constant across different objects?

• A stopwatch

• A ruler

• A tiny nerf gun

• A scale

Which object had the greatest acceleration in the demonstration?

• The marble

• The tennis ball

• The softball

• All had the same acceleration

What happens to acceleration when the mass of an object increases while the force remains constant?

• Acceleration increases

• Acceleration remains the same

• Acceleration decreases

• Acceleration becomes zero

What is the main takeaway from the demonstration regarding Newton's Second Law?

• Mass does not affect acceleration.

• Heavier objects have more acceleration.

• Heavier objects have less acceleration.

• Lighter objects have less acceleration.
