1. Which of Newton's Laws of Motion directly relates net force to acceleration?
First Law
Second Law
Third Law
Law of Conservation of Energy
2. An object with a mass of 5 kg experiences a net force of 20 N. What is its acceleration?
0.25 m/s²
4 m/s²
15 m/s²
100 m/s²
3. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the acting on it and inversely proportional to its .
4. When the net force on an object is zero, its acceleration is , meaning it is either at rest or moving with velocity.
5. Explain the concept of 'net force' and how it determines an object's acceleration.
6. If an object is moving at a constant velocity, there is no net force acting on it.
True
False
7. A larger net force will always result in a larger acceleration, regardless of the object's mass.
True
False
8. A car with a mass of 1200 kg accelerates from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. Calculate the net force acting on the car during this time.
