Newton's Laws Vocabulary

What does Newton's 2nd Law state?

• Law that states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object's mass

• Law that states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction

• Law that states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion

• Law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed

What are balanced forces?

• Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero.

• Forces that cause an object to accelerate.

• Forces that act in opposite directions and are unequal.

• Forces that change the shape of an object.

NGSS.HS-PS2-1

This law states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

• Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
