9. Newton’s 2nd Law can be represented with the equation F=ma. What happens to the acceleration of an object if the
mass of the object increases? (Assume net force remains constant)
10. What is Newton’s 3rd Law?
11. A 10kg box is pushed across the floor with an acceleration of 5m/s2 for 0.5s. What net force on the box produced this
motion? What is the weight of the box?

type of motion would this object experience?
22. Acceleration is (directly, inversely) proportional to net force and (directly, inversely) proportional to the mass of an
object.
