A rule describing a relationship that always works in the same way under the same conditions.
Question 7: acceleration
Answer:
final velocity- initial velocity
Question 8: newtons second law of motion
Answer:
a law stating that the acceleration of an object increases with increased force, and decreases with increasing mass.
