Question

match each term with the appropriate definition.
mass
newton’s second law of motion
newton’s first law of motion
inertia
force
object’s motion being constant unless acted on by an unbalanced force
statement that force is equal to mass times acceleration
a push or a pull
the property of matter that resists changes in motion
the measure of the amount of substance in a sample

Explanation:

• mass: Defined as the measure of the amount of substance in a sample.
• Newton’s second law of motion: States that force ($F$) is equal to mass ($m$) times acceleration ($a$), i.e., $F = ma$.
• Newton’s first law of motion: Describes an object’s motion being constant unless acted on by an unbalanced force (also related to inertia).
• inertia: The property of matter that resists changes in motion.
• force: A push or a pull on an object.
