There was a belief almost‚ that the ways of life could not be explained logically‚ but only by superstition and the mysterious actions of God. That assumption was created in part by the Catholic church and since‚ the church influenced a large portion of the common people’s time and lives‚ science remained as

Inertia (Law of Inertia) Name _____________________ Section _________ Date ______ The law of acceleration explains how a net force makes a mass accelerate. It shows how the magnitude of the acceleration depends on the magnitude of the force (directly proportional) and on the magnitude of the mass (inversely proportional). Acceleration happens only when there is an unbalanced force. Where All Forces Are Balanced No change of velocity occurs when the forces acting a body are balanced
