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

You’re not important. You’re not anything.” Granger is talking about how utterly insignificant Montag‚ and all human beings for that matter‚ are in the long scheme of time. He continues by saying: “But even when we had the books on hand‚ a long time ago‚ we didn’t use what we got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead. We went right on spitting in the graves of all the poor ones who died before us.” Quite evidently‚ Granger is remarking on how important it is to relish the little moment
