Newtons 2nd Law Review

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a).

Front

If a 1200 kg car accelerates at 4 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

4800 N.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object over time.

Front

What unit is used to measure force in the SI system?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What is the SI unit for mass?

Back

Kilogram (kg).

Front

If two objects have the same mass but different forces applied, which will have the greater acceleration?

Back

The object with the greater force applied will have the greater acceleration.

Front

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

Back

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 the effect of applying the same force to objects of different masses?

Back

The object with greater mass will have less acceleration.
