Newton's Second Law of Motion

What is Newton's 2nd Law?

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

• An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion.

• F = ma

• Friction

True or False. Acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it

• True

• False
