What is Newton's 2nd Law?

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

• Acceleration depends on two variables, the mass of the object and the amount of force.

The girl on the sled will remain in motion unless

• her motion is changed by magnetic forces.

• she is stopped by an outside force.

• she accelerates at a constant speed.

"A body at rest tends to remain at rest, and a body in motion, tends to remain in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

This is describing the law of

• forces

• inertia

• velocity

• gravity

The picture shows a spinning water sprinkler.

Water comes through the hose and is sprayed by the sprinkler.

Which principle best explains why the sprinkler spins?

• Energy is released when water condenses.

• Most substances expand when heated and contract when cooled.

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

• Solid substances are usually more dense than liquid.
