When a heavy truck and a light truck run into each other, which exerts the most force?

a)

the heavy one

b)

there is no such thing as force

c)

the light one

d)

they are equal

15.

What is Newton's Second Law?

a)

F= ma (Force=mass x acceleration)

b)

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

c)

every action has an equal and opposite reaction

d)

16.

Which best explains why we are able to accelerate forward when we start to run?

a)

As one leg moves backward, it provides an equal and opposite force for the other foot to move forward

b)

The striking foot pushes backward against the ground. The friction with ground provides an equal and opposite force forward.

c)

No acceleration takes place. Runners are always at a fixed velocity.

d)

The runner's upper body quickly leans forward, causing the entire body to begin accelerating forward.
