Question 8

Newton’s Second Law

Answer 8

Force=mass x acceleration

Answer 9

For every action there’s 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 in outside acts on the object.
