FMA Relationships

Front

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

Back

According to Newton's second law of motion, the relationship is defined by the equation F = M x A, where F is force, M is mass, and A is acceleration.

Front

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

Back

If the mass increases, the acceleration decreases, as acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

F = M x A.

Front

If two objects are pushed with the same force, which will have a greater acceleration?

Back

The object with less mass will have a greater acceleration.

Front

What is the effect of a larger force on the acceleration of an object?

Back

A larger force results in a greater acceleration, assuming mass remains constant.

Front

How does mass affect the change in speed of an object when a constant force is applied?

Back

Objects with greater mass will experience a smaller change in speed compared to lighter objects when the same force is applied.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

If a 50 kg object is pushed with a force of 10 N, what is its acceleration?

Back

A = F/M = 10 N / 50 kg = 0.2 m/s².

Front

What force is required to accelerate a 20 kg object at 3 m/s²?

Back

F = M x A = 20 kg x 3 m/s² = 60 N.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion; it is directly related to mass.
