Mission NL7: Newton's Second Law

Mission NL7 pertains to Newton's Second Law.  You must understand how alterations in mass and net force would affect the acceleration of an object. The mission consists of 32 questions organized into 9 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...

 

Learning Outcomes

• The student should be able to identify the proportional relationship between acceleration, net force, and mass.
• The student should be able to predict the quantitative effect of an alteration in the net force or mass of an object upon the acceleration of that object.
