FLASHCARD QUESTION

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 = ma (Force = mass x acceleration).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

According to Newton's 2nd Law, as mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force applied remains constant. This means that heavier objects require more force to accelerate at the same rate as lighter objects.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If two objects are pushed with the same force, which will accelerate more?

Back

The object with less mass will accelerate more when pushed with the same force, according to Newton's 2nd Law.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's acceleration.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force can be calculated by adding all the forces acting on an object in the same direction and subtracting the forces acting in the opposite direction.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the net force acting on it is zero?

Back

If the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will not accelerate; it will either remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity.
