2.1
2.1.1 When a net force (Fnet) is applied to an object (of mass, m) it accelerates in the
direction of the (net) force. The acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the (net)
force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. (2 or 0)
OR
The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of
the object (in the direction of the force). (2 or 0) (2)
