What can be said about the force experienced by three chairs of the same mass when pushed from different directions?

Back

All three chairs experienced a force, but the direction and magnitude of the push determine the effect.

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration when a force is applied?

Back

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the same force is applied.

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect the force required to change an object's motion?

Back

Greater mass requires a greater force to achieve the same change in motion.
