Newton's Second Law

What happens when unbalanced forces act on an object at rest?

• the object remains at rest

• the object accelerates in an unpredictable direction

• the object begins accelerates in the direction of the net force

• the object begins moving opposite to the direction of net force

A 20 kg bike accelerates at 10 m/s². what was the force

• 25 Newtons

• 20 Newtons

• 200 Newtons

• 10 Newtons

What Unit do we Measure Force in?

• newtons

• joules

• force

• pascals

What is the acceleration of an object traveling at a constant velocity?

• 10 m/s²
• 0 m/s²
• 250 m/s²
• 20 m/s²

What are the appropriate units to describe acceleration?

• m/s
• m/s²
• cm
• there are no units associated with acceleration

How can acceleration be described?

• distance divided by time
• time divided by distance
• force divided by time
• change in velocity divided by time
