Newton's Second Law of Motion

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Force = Mass multiplied by Acceleration.

Front

According to Newton's Second Law, what is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the object's mass.

What happens to a ball rolling on the floor when a force pushes it in the same direction?

Back

The ball will go faster.

Front

If you increase the force applied to an object, what happens according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

It accelerates more.

Front

What unit do we measure force in?

Back

Newtons.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What does 'mass' refer to in physics?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is 'acceleration'?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same applied force.
