b)
Mass is directly proportional to acceleration and force.
c)
The Law of Acceleration states that force is inversely proportional to acceleration.
d)

10.

Which one that describes the correct difference between balanced force and unbalanced force?

a)
Balanced forces always cause motion, while unbalanced forces do not.
