1. What is the net force acting on an object if it is moving at a constant velocity?
A positive force
A negative force
Zero
Impossible to determine
2. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, how is acceleration related to net force?
Directly proportional
Inversely proportional
Unrelated
Exponentially related
3. The formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion is F = m × .
4. When an object's velocity changes, it is .
5. A larger net force on an object will always result in a greater acceleration.
True
False
6. An object with a greater mass will accelerate more easily than an object with less mass, given the same net force.
True
False
7. Explain the relationship between net force, mass, and acceleration as described by Newton's Second Law of Motion.
8. A car has a mass of 1000 kg. If a net force of 5000 N is applied to it, what will be its acceleration? Show your work.
