2.07 A Newton's Second Law of Motion

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Front

How do you calculate force?

Back

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

Meters per second squared (m/s²)

Front

If a 2 kg object is accelerated at 6 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

12 N

Front

What happens to an object when a force is applied in the same direction as its motion?

Back

The object will speed up.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration when force is constant?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases.

Front

What is the formula to find acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = Force / Mass

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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