F = MA

Front

What does F = MA represent?

Back

F = MA is Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (M) of that object multiplied by its acceleration (A).

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is a push or pull acting on an object, measured in newtons (N).

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the newton (N).

Front

If a box has a mass of 10 kg and is accelerating at 5 m/s², what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 50 N (calculated using F = MA).

Front

Which of the following is NOT a measurement of mass? m/s², g, kg, lbs

Back

m/s² is NOT a measurement of mass; it is a measurement of acceleration.

Front

What is the formula to calculate mass?

Back

The formula to calculate mass is M = F/A.

Front

If a car has a net force of 30 N and a mass of 10 kg, what is its acceleration?

Back

The acceleration is 3 m/s² (calculated using A = F/M).

Front

What happens to acceleration if mass increases while force remains constant?

Back

If mass increases while force remains constant, acceleration decreases.
