Grade 6 Forces and Motion
Newton's second law of motion states that
  1. when a force is applied on an object, an equal force is applied by the object in the opposite direction.
  2. acceleration is calculated by dividing the force exerted on an object by the mass of the object, and that when a force acts on an object, its acceleration is in the same direction as the force.
  3. the force on an object can be found by dividing its mass by its acceleration.
  4. an object will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line with constant speed unless a force acts on it.
