Newton's Laws TCAP Practice 1
Identify Newton's Laws of MotionFirst Law: An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.Second Law: Acceleration of an object depends on the force acting on it and its mass. Force = mass x accelerationThird Law: For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

The first student hits a ball very hard and it has a greater acceleration than the second student who bunts the ball lightly. This is an example of Newton's _ law. first second third 12.
