|
Is the following sentence true or false? According to Newton's first law of motion, an object's state of motion does not change as long as the net force acting on it is zero.
|
True
|
|
Is the following sentence true or false? The law of inertia states that an object in motion will eventually slow down and come to a complete stop if it travels far enough in the same direction.
|
False
|
|
According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration of an object depends upon the of the object and the acting on it.

Acceleration
|
|
Causes an object's velocity to change.
|
Net Force
|
|
Is the following sentence true or false? The acceleration of an object is always in the same direction as the net force acting on the object.
|
False
|
|
Is the following sentence true or false? If the same force acts upon two objects with different masses, the acceleration will be greater for the object with greater mass.
|
False
|
|
