Question

match the following vocabulary words to the correct definition.
acceleration
force
net force
newton
drag & drop the answer
the rate at which velocity changes
the overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together
a unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second
a push or pull exerted on an object

Explanation:

• Acceleration: Defined as the rate of change of velocity, so it matches "The rate at which velocity changes".
• Net Force: Is the overall force when all individual forces are summed, so it matches "The overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together".
• Force: Is a push or pull on an object, so it matches "A push or pull exerted on an object".
• Newton: Is the unit of force where 1 newton accelerates 1 kg at 1 m/s², so it matches "A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second".

Answer:

• Acceleration : The rate at which velocity changes
• Net Force : The overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together
• Force : A push or pull exerted on an object
• Newton : A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second
