Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show your work for any calculations.
1. Newton's Second Law of Motion describes the relationship between:
Speed and distance
Force, mass, and acceleration
Time and velocity
Energy and power
2. If you apply a greater force to an object, its acceleration will:
Decrease
Increase
Stay the same
Become zero
3. The formula for Newton's Second Law is Force = × .
4. If an object has a large mass, it will have a acceleration when the same force is applied.
5. A heavier object requires less force to accelerate it at the same rate as a lighter object.
True
False
6. Imagine you are pushing a small toy car and a large shopping cart. Which one would require more force to get it moving at the same speed in the same amount of time? Explain your answer using Newton's Second Law.
7. A force of 20 Newtons (N) is applied to a box with a mass of 5 kilograms (kg). What is the acceleration of the box?
