2. If you observe that an object is accelerating, what should youconclude?
A non-zero net force is acting on it. Only forces causeacceleration. As such, if an object is accelerating it must bebecause a non-zero net force is acting on it.
It must be in free fall.
It must be changing direction. Acceleration is a vector and vectorshave both magnitude and direction. Thus if an object isaccelerating it must be changing direction.
The forces acting on the object must be greater than the forces theobject is exerting.
It must be speeding up. If an object is accelerating that means itis speeding up.

3. Which of the following are true according to Newton's 2nd Law?Choose all that apply.

If the acceleration is zero, then the net force is zero.
If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with more masswill have a greater acceleration.
If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with less masswill have a greater acceleration.
If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with less masswill have a larger net force exerted on it.
If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with more masswill have a larger net force exerted on it.
The larger the net force on an object is, the larger theacceleration.
The larger the net force on an object is, the smaller theacceleration.
