level questions: Newton's second law

Question	Answer
Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.	Newton's Second Law
What does Newton's Second Law relate to?	Newton's Second Law relates the acceleration of an object to the resultant force acting on it and its mass.
Resultant force is the single force that has the same effect as all the forces acting on an object combined.	Resultant Force
What is the resultant force?	The resultant force is the single force that has the same effect as all the forces acting on an object combined.
According to Newton's Second Law, the greater the resultant force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration or deceleration it experiences.	Acceleration and Force Relationship
How does the magnitude of acceleration relate to the resultant force?	According to Newton's Second Law, the greater the resultant force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration or deceleration it experiences.
Newton's Second Law states that the greater the mass of an object, the smaller the acceleration or deceleration it experiences for a given resultant force.	Mass and Acceleration Relationship
How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?	According to Newton's Second Law, the greater the mass of an object, the smaller the acceleration or deceleration it experiences for a given resultant force.
Newton's Second Law can be represented by the equation:	Equation for Newton's Second Law
Inertia is the tendency of objects to maintain their state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.	Inertia
What is inertia?	Inertia is the tendency of objects to maintain their state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
Inertial mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its velocity. It quantifies how difficult it is to accelerate an object.	Inertial Mass
What is inertial mass?	Inertial mass is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its velocity. It quantifies how difficult it is to accelerate an object.
Objects with mass tend to resist changes to their state of motion due to inertia.	Tendency of Objects with Mass
What tendency do objects with mass exhibit according to inertia?	Objects with mass tend to resist changes to their state of motion due to inertia.
Inertial mass (m) can be calculated using the equation:	Inertial Mass Calculation
Inertial mass represents the ratio of force applied to an object to the resulting acceleration it experiences.	Ratio of Force to Acceleration
What does inertial mass represent in terms of force and acceleration?	Inertial mass represents the ratio of force applied to an object to the resulting acceleration it experiences.
