Force and Acceleration WRA

What is force, according to the passage?

• The rate at which an object changes its velocity.

• Any change in speed or direction of an object.

• Any push or pull that causes an object to change its motion.

• The energy stored in an object due to its position.

What does acceleration measure in relation to force?

• The energy transferred to an object.

• The speed of an object at rest.

• The rate of change in an object's velocity due to force.

• The gravitational pull on an object.

According to Newton's second law of motion, how is acceleration related to force and mass?

• Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass.

• Acceleration is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to force.

• Acceleration is directly proportional to both force and mass.

• Acceleration is inversely proportional to both force and mass.

What role does energy play in relation to force and acceleration, based on the passage?

• Energy causes objects to come to a stop.

• Energy determines the color of objects in motion.

• Energy is transferred to objects when force causes acceleration.

• Energy changes the direction of motion in objects.

Why is understanding force and acceleration important, according to the passage?

• To calculate the mass of objects in motion.

• To explain how objects interact with each other.

• To describe the shape of objects in motion.

• To understand how forces affect the energy and motion of objects.
