Answer

Jumping on a diving board

Answer

A ball rolling along a level surface will eventually slow down and stop due to friction

Question 2

What is the equation for Newton's second law?

Accepted Answer

Force equals mass times acceleration

Answer

Acceleration means a change in speed or direction of something

Answer

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Answer

An object in motion tends to stay in motion while an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by some force

What is the concept of Newton's third law?

Accepted Answer

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Answer

A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged

Answer

The amount of stuff that makes up something

Answer

The resistance that one surface or an object encounters when moving against another

Answer

A ball rolling along a level surface will eventually slow down and stop

Answer

The resistance that one surface or an object encounters when moving against another

Question 12

Which of the following best describes Newton's second law?

Accepted Answer

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass

Answer

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion

Answer

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Answer

The gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them
