According to Newton's Second Law, if you increase the force applied to an object:

• It accelerates more
• It doesn't move
• You get more inertia
• It decelerates

• Law of Inertia

• Law of F=ma

• Law of reaction (force pairs)

Which example best illustrates Newton's Third Law of Motion?

• When a glass slid across a table, it spilled water when it stopped suddenly.

• An engine used less work to move a lighter car than when it moved a heavier car.

• When you sit on a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the surface of the chair, while the chair exerts an equal and upward force on your body.
