ICP 3.4,6: Newton's 2nd Law Calculations

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of the force applied.

Front

How can Newton's second law be represented mathematically?

Back

F=MA, M=F/A, A=F/M (All are correct)

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (M) × Acceleration (A)

Front

If a 10 kg object accelerates at 15 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

150 Newtons

Front

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

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What does the term 'mass' refer to in physics?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What does 'acceleration' mean in the context of Newton's Second Law?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in m/s².

Front

Which object would require more force to change its motion: a truck or a car?

Back

The truck, due to its greater mass.

Front

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

Back

They are directly related; increasing mass or acceleration increases the force.

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the force applied is doubled?

Back

The acceleration also doubles, assuming mass remains constant.
