1. Which of Newton's Laws of Motion directly relates net force, mass, and acceleration?
Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
Law of Conservation of Energy
2. An object is moving at a constant velocity. What can be said about the net force acting on the object?
The net force is in the direction of motion.
The net force is opposite to the direction of motion.
The net force is zero.
The net force is constantly changing.
3. The relationship between net force, mass, and acceleration is given by the formula F_net = .
4. If the net force on an object is doubled while its mass remains constant, its acceleration will .
5. A 10 kg object is subjected to a net force of 50 N. Calculate the acceleration of the object.
6. Explain the difference between mass and weight, and how each relates to acceleration.
7. If an object is accelerating, there must be a net force acting on it.
True
False
8. An object in free fall experiences zero net force.
True
False
9. A car of mass 1200 kg accelerates from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the net force acting on the car during this acceleration?
