• a = F ÷ m

• a = m ÷ F

Which of the following will occur if the net force acting on an object is doubled?

• Its acceleration will be halved.

• Its acceleration will double.

• Its acceleration will be quadrupled.

• Its acceleration will remain the same.

What will happen to the acceleration of an object if its mass is increased, but the force applied remains the same?

• Its acceleration will be zero.

• Its acceleration will increase.

• Its acceleration will decrease.

• Its acceleration will remain the same.

Which of the following is an example of acceleration?

• A car moving at a constant speed.

• A school bus turning a corner onto a new street.

• A motorcycle stopped at a stop sign.

• A truck with no motion and no force applied to it.

Which of the following will increase the acceleration of an object?

• Decreasing the mass of the object.

• Decreasing the force acting on the object.

• Increasing the mass of the object.

• Keeping the force applied to the object constant.

Which of the following is a correct statement regarding Newton’s 2nd Law?

• The mass of an object and the force acting on the object have no impact.

• The smaller the force, the greater the acceleration.

• The greater the mass, the greater the acceleration.

• The greater the force, the greater the acceleration.
