CLOZE 2
Newton's second law of motion describes how force,______
and acceleration are
related. According to Newton's second law, if you have two objects with the same mass, the object
that experiences a larger force will have a(n)______
acceleration. Or, if you have two
objects with the same mass but different forces, the object with the smaller force will experience
a(n)_______
acceleration. NASA scientists must consider Newton's second law when
designing rocket ships. It is important to make the ship have very little_______
and a very large ______
so it can achieve enough acceleration to escape the gravity of Earth.
