2. Physics 2015: Newton’s Law in Action Purpose Study the relationship between acceleration and forces by observing  …in which direction acceleration occurs when forces act on an object, and  …the dependence of acceleration on other properties, mainly mass and force We will use free body diagrams to understand these basic principles.
