Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. It can be expressed with the formula F = ma.

What is a Balanced Force?

Back

Balanced forces are two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and they are equal in size, resulting in no change in motion.

What is the relationship between mass and force according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

A larger mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

If an object has a mass of 5 kg and is accelerating at 2 m/s², what is the force acting on it?

Back

10 N (using F = ma)

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What does it mean if an object is in motion with unbalanced forces acting on it?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
