A 10 kg object is subject to a net force of 20 N. What is the object's acceleration?
2 m/s^2
20 m/s^2
200 m/s^2
10 m/s^2
How would doubling both mass and net force on an object affect its acceleration according to Newton's second law?
Acceleration would quadruple as both contributing factors have been doubled.
Acceleration would double because both mass and net force contribute equally to it.
The acceleration would remain unchanged because doubling both quantities preserves their ratio.
Acceleration would halve due to increased inertia from doubled mass despite increased force.
What would happen if a toy car moving eastward on a track collided head-on elastically with an identical toy car traveling westward at double its speed?
Both cars continue in the same direction but exchange speeds.
Both cars stop and do not move anymore.
First car stops, second car moves eastward at four times its original speed.
First car travels westward at double its original eastward speed, second car stands still.
Two ice skaters, one with mass of and other with mass of , initially stand still on frictionless ice then push off each other; how does the magnitude of their velocities compare after pushing away from each other?
The skater with mass moves twice as fast as the skater with mass .
It's impossible to determine without knowing their exact masses.
Both skaters move at equal velocities but in opposite directions.
The skater with mass moves at half the velocity compared to the skater with mass .
If the mass of an object is doubled while the applied force remains constant, what happens to its acceleration?
It doubles.
It remains the same.
It halves.
It quadruples.
An object is subject to a net force of 100 N and experiences an acceleration of 10 m/s^2. What is the object's mass?
20 kg
10 kg
200 kg
50 kg
A student pushes a box across a frictionless surface with a constant horizontal force; what happens to its velocity over time?
Its velocity remains constant over time.
Its velocity decreases at a constant rate over time.
Its velocity increases at a constant rate over time.
Its velocity increases at an increasing rate over time.

If a box slides down an inclined plane with negligible friction, how does the gravitational force parallel to the incline affect the box's acceleration?
It causes the box to accelerate down the incline at a rate determined by the component of gravity parallel to the surface.
It has no effect since only normal force affects acceleration on an inclined plane.
It decelerates the box since friction is negligible and opposes motion.
It causes a constant velocity as it acts perpendicular to the direction of motion.
In Newton's second law of motion , what does the 'a' represent?
Velocity
Mass
Acceleration
Force
