Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Which of the following equations represents this law?
F = m + a
F = m/a
F = ma
F = a/m
2. A constant force is applied to an object. If the mass of the object is doubled, how will its acceleration change?
It will double.
It will be halved.
It will remain the same.
It will quadruple.
3. The unit of force in the SI system is the .
4. To cause an object to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it.
5. A 5 kg object is subjected to a net force of 20 N. Calculate the acceleration of the object.
6. Explain the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration as described by Newton's Second Law.
7. If an object is not accelerating, then there are no forces acting on it.
True
False
8. A larger net force on an object will always result in a greater acceleration, assuming mass is constant.
True
False
Match each term with its correct definition or description.
