Q

Law of Acceleration states that:

A

“An object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force in direct proportion to the strength of the force,and inverse proportion to the mass of the object.”

• Action acts on an object,while reaction acts on another object.

20
Q

Balanced Forces

A

• Two forces are equal in size
• Two forces are opposite to each other in terms of direction
• Two forces act along the same line
• Two forces act upon the same object
