FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does Newton's 2nd Law state about the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This can be expressed with the formula: F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

According to Newton's 2nd Law, as the mass of an object increases, the acceleration decreases if the same force is applied. This means that heavier objects require more force to achieve the same acceleration as lighter objects.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a force of 20 N is applied to a 2 kg object, what is its acceleration?

Back

The acceleration can be calculated using the formula a = F/m. Here, a = 20 N / 2 kg = 10 m/s².

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Which object will accelerate more when the same force is applied: a tennis ball, a soccer ball, or a bowling ball?

Back

The tennis ball will accelerate the most because it has the least mass, and according to Newton's 2nd Law, less mass results in greater acceleration when the same force is applied.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula used to calculate acceleration in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

The formula used to calculate acceleration is a = F/m, where a is acceleration, F is the net force applied, and m is the mass of the object.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a 5 kg object is pushed with a force of 12 N, what is its acceleration?

Back

Using the formula a = F/m, the acceleration is a = 12 N / 5 kg = 2.4 m/s².
