Newton's 2nd Law

Front

Newton’s 2nd Law (the Law of Acceleration) states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Which equation represents this law? Options:

F = ma

,

F = m/a

,

F = a/m

,

F = m + a

Back

F = ma

Front

The rate at which an object changes speed is called _______________.

Back

Acceleration

Front

What is the formula to calculate velocity?

Back

Velocity = Distance + Time

Front

How does the amount of friction affect the net force?

Back

It decreases the net force.

Front

Which statement about the Law of Acceleration is true?

Back

Decreasing the mass of an object increases its acceleration while force is constant.

Front

Solve for acceleration: You apply 20 N of force to a 5 kg bowling ball.

Back

4 m/s²

Two footballs (A & B) are thrown with the same amount of force. Football A has a greater mass. Describe the acceleration of each football.

Back

Football B has greater acceleration than Football A.
