1. Which of Newton's laws of motion directly relates net force to acceleration?
Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
Law of Universal Gravitation
2. If the net force acting on an object is zero, what can be concluded about its acceleration?
It is increasing.
It is decreasing.
It is constant (possibly zero).
It is always zero.
3. Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the acting on it and inversely proportional to its .
4. The unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) is the .
5. A 2 kg object is subjected to a net force of 10 N. Calculate the acceleration of the object.
6. Explain the difference between mass and weight.
7. If an object is moving at a constant velocity, there is a net force acting on it.
