Question 8

Newton’s Second Law

Answer 8

Force = mass x acceleration

Question 9

Newton’s Third Law

Answer 9

For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

Question 10

Inertia

Answer 10

The tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.

Question 11

Friction

Answer 11

Force that resists motion

Question 12

Mass

Answer 12

The amount of matter in an object.

Question 13
