    Niels Bohr
  • Which equation expresses Newton's 2nd Law?
    a = (v<sub>2</sub> - v<sub>1</sub>) ÷ t
    M = fa
    F = ma
    s = d ÷ t
  • Newton's 3rd Law can be summarized as:
    all forces act in pairs
    all forces act alone
    acceleration requires force &amp; mass
    motion requires an unbalanced force
  • The 1st law also states: an object in motion stays in motion at the same velocity unless _____.
    it experiences and increase in size
    it experiences an unbalanced force
    it experiences acceleration
    it experiences a balanced force
  • What is another name for Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
    Law of Inertia
    Law of Acceleration
    Law of Resistance
    Law of Forces
