| What does Newton's second law state? | Acceleration depends on the objects mass and the net force acting on the object |
| What is acceleration? | Changing motion. |
| What is the equation for acceleration? | Net force divided by mass. |
| What does Newton's third law state? | If one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object. |
| How can momentum be determined? | By a moving object's mass multiplied by its velocity |
