Question

Answers

What would happen to the acceleration of a rock that has a mass of 3kg and a force of 1N if you double the force applied?

 

Suppose the mass of a 50kg object was doubled. What would happen to the force needed to accelerate the object 10 m/s^2?

 

Write in your own words how a rocket shoots off into space. Be sure your explanation includes at least ONE of Newton’s Laws.

Inertia is the property that

every material object has that causes objects to resist changes in its state of motion.

 

The law of inertia applies to both moving and nonmoving objects.

 

The reason a penny thrown straight up inside a bus will come back to your hand is that you, the bus, the air inside the bus, and the penny are all moving at the same velocity.
