Newton's 2nd Law Flashcard

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 2nd 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 = m * a.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

The formula to calculate force is F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for force?

Back

The unit of measurement for force is Newton (N).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for mass?

Back

The unit of measurement for mass is kilogram (kg).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for acceleration?

Back

The unit of measurement for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

If a dog has a mass of 15 kg and an acceleration of 2 m/s², what is the net force?

Back

30 N

Front

If a force of 50 N is applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the object's acceleration be?

Back

100 m/s²

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull acting on an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The acceleration decreases.
