What is Inertia? The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion unless a force acts on it.
What is Newton's second law of motion? The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the size of the force applied.
What is the equation for acceleration? Acceleration=force/mass
What is Newton's third law of motion? When a force is applied to an object, the object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction.
What is Momentum used for? Momentum is used to find the force needed to stop a moving object.
True of False. If there is a heavy object in a wagon going down a slope, the acceleration of the wagon will be fast. False.

Jumping off the ground, is an example of what law of motion? Newton's Third Law

What happens to objects when two balanced forces act on it? The object remains at rest.
