Name 1 of Newton's 3 Laws of Motion.
(1) Objects at rest will remain at rest, and objects in motion will remain in motion; unless acted upon by another force.
(2) The total Force of an object is directly proportional to its Mass x Acceleration.
(3) Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
3 test taking strategies.
1. Read question carefully.
2. Read all answer choices.
3. Process of elimination.
