FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Second Law 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 (Force = mass × acceleration).

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does acceleration mean?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a 10 kg object is accelerated at 2 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

The force applied is 20 N (calculated using F = ma: F = 10 kg × 2 m/s²).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms (kg).

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

According to Newton's Second Law, as mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force. This means that heavier objects require more force to accelerate at the same rate as lighter objects.
