Physics Vocabulary

Motion is

• forces

• a change in position

• none of the above

• acceleration

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

• an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force

• Force = mass x acceleration

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

What does force = mass x acceleration mean?

• If an object has a lot of mass it will accelerate a lot

• Force is dependent on an object's mass and acceleration

• Acceleration can only happen if there is not too much mass

• Force is not possible with mass and acceleration
