Newton's Second Law of Motion: Private

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.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What unit is Force measured in?

Back

Newtons (N).

Front

What does acceleration depend on according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Acceleration depends on the net force acting on an object and its mass.

Front

If a man pushes two objects with the same force, which will accelerate more?

Back

The object with less mass will accelerate more.

Front

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

Back

Acceleration decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What does it mean if an object is accelerating?

Back

It means that a net force is acting on the object.

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What happens to an object's motion if no net force is acting on it?

Back

The object will either remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.
