Newton's Second Law Quick Check answers
1. The formula for Newton's second law is F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
2. Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
3. In order to accelerate an object at a faster rate, you would need to increase the net force acting on it or decrease its mass.
4. If the mass of an object is doubled while the force remains constant, the acceleration of the object will be halved.
5. If the force acting on an object is tripled while the mass remains constant, the acceleration of the object will be tripled.
