• a=F/m

• F=ma

• F=a+m

When you drop something, and it goes down, what is the strongest force acting on the object?

• Normal force

• Fluid Friction

• Gravity

• Force

an increase in the force on the object would cause an increase in the

• Acceleration

• mass

As mass increases, and force stays constant, acceleration...

• Decreases

• Increases

• Stays the same

• There isn’t enough info to tell.

When your arms push against the water as you swim...

• The water pushes back

• The water pulls you in

• Nothing happens

• We need more information.

What is Newton’s second law?

• The amount of acceleration is proportional to the amount of force.

• Inertia

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• An object will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon.

What is Newton’s 1st law?

• Inertia

• F=ma

• An object in motion or at rest stays as such unless acted upon

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

What is Newton’s 3rd law?

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

• Inertia

• Force

• Force is proportional to acceleration.
