Newtons 1st law of motion states:

• An object in motion will stay in motion and an object in rest will stay in rest unless acted upon by and unbalance force.
• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 
• Acceleration is produced when a force. acts on a mass. 
• The greater the mass  the greater the amount of force needed to change its motion. 

The law of inertia is also known as which law of motion?

• Newtons first law of motion. 
• Newtons second law of motion. 
• Newtons third law of motion. 
• Inertia has nothing to do with the laws of motion.

Determine the accelerations that result when a 12-N net force is applied to a 3-kg object and then to a 6-kg object.

• A 3-kg object experiences an acceleration of 2 m/s/s. A 6-kg object experiences an acceleration of 2m/s/s.  
• A 3-kg object experiences an acceleration of 4 m/s/s. A 6-kg object experiences an acceleration of 2 m/s/s.  
• A 3-kg object experiences an acceleration of 2 m/s/s. A 6-kg object experiences an acceleration of 4 m/s/s.  
• A 3-kg object experiences an acceleration of 4 m/s/s. A 6-kg object experiences an acceleration of 4 m/s/s.
