What is acceleration?

A change in motion

What happens to acceleration when the force on an object increases?

Acceleration increases

What happens to acceleration when an object's mass increases but the force stays the same?

Acceleration decreases

Two forces of 300N300N and 150N150N push in the same direction. What is the resultant force?

450N450N

A 500N500N force pushes right and a 300N300N force pushes left. What is the resultant force?

200N200N to the right

In F=maF = ma, what are the correct units for force, mass, and acceleration?

NN, kgkg, m/s2m/s^2

In which direction does acceleration occur relative to the resultant force?

Same direction as resultant force

What happens when the resultant force on an object is zero?

Zero acceleration, constant speed

0.75m/s20.75 m/s^2

Which equation correctly rearranges F=maF = ma to find mass?

m=Fam = \frac{F}{a}

Which equation correctly rearranges F=maF = ma to find acceleration?

a=Fma = \frac{F}{m}

What does Newton's second law tell us happens when forces act on objects?

Changes velocity (speed & direction)
