Newton's Second Law of Motion

Front

What is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object?

Back

Force

Front

What is the change in an object’s position with respect to time and in comparison with the position of other objects used as reference points?

Back

Motion

Front

According to Newton's 2nd Law, what does acceleration depend on?

Back

Force and mass

Front

If you have two equally massive objects and want one to speed up, what type of force will you need to apply to it?

Back

More force

Front

What type of force is required to move a larger/more massive object?

Back

More force

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the mass increases while the force remains constant?

Back

The acceleration decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

They are directly proportional; as force increases, acceleration increases if mass is constant.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does increasing the mass of an object affect the force needed to accelerate it?

Back

More force is needed to achieve the same acceleration.
