Acceleration Review

What is acceleration in scientific terms?

• The rate at which velocity changes

• The rate at which speed decreases

• The rate at which distance is covered

• The rate at which time passes

How is acceleration often measured?

• Meters per second

• Meters per second squared

• Kilometers per hour

• Miles per hour

What does Newton's Second Law state about an object's acceleration? Select all that apply.

• It is inversely proportional to the net force.

• It is directly proportional to the object's mass.

• It is directly proportional to the net force.

• It is inversely proportional to the object's mass

According to Newton's Second Law, how is acceleration calculated?

• a = m/F

• a = F/m

• a = F + m

• a = F - m

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

• Force is the product of mass and acceleration.

• Mass is the product of force and acceleration.

• Acceleration is the sum of force and mass.

• Force is the sum of mass and acceleration.
