| 31. What does the Second Law state? |
The Secon Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net external force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the objects mass. |

| 11. Is a car that is driving in circles with constant speed accelerating? Why or why not? |
The car is accelerating because when it goes in circles, the direction it faces is always changing, which affects its velocity. |

| 6.What's the difference between displacement and distance? |
Distance is the scalar value of how far an object has traveled regardless of direction.
Displacement is the vector value of how far an object has been displaced, meaning how far is it from where it started.
In other words, distance shows no direction such as north, south, etc. while displacement does. |

| 57. How can you lessen the force of impact in a collision? |
If the time interval in which the object is brought to a stop is prolonged, then there wwill be less force in the collision. For example, if an egg hits a hard surface there will be a larger force of impact then if it was thrown at a sheet or pillow. |
