QUESTION 2 / VRAAG 2
2.1. When a net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the
direction of the force, at an acceleration directly proportional to the force
and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.v Vv
Wanneer 'n resulterende/netto krag op ‘n voorwerp inwerk, versnel die
voorwerp in die rigting van die krag teen 'n versnelling direk eweredig aan
die krag en omgekeerd eweredig aan die massa van die voorwerp.
