Newton's 2nd Law Flashcard

Front

What is the SI unit for Force?

Back

Newton

Front

Calculate the net force acting on a 2 kg object accelerating at 3 m/s².

Back

6 N

Front

If the net force acting on a car is 24 N and its mass is 6 kg, what is the car's acceleration?

Back

4 m/s²

Front

What is the unit of measurement for acceleration?

Back

m/s²

Front

Define gravity.

Back

A force that always attracts or pulls objects toward each other without direct contact or impact.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

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 calculating force?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Acceleration decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, calculated as Weight = Mass × Gravity.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to accelerate, resulting in a change in motion.
