Newton's Second Law

How much force do we need?

Review - Newton's First Law

• Inertia means an object will keep doing what it was doing before.

• An object at rest will stay at rest.

• An object in motion will stay in motion, in a constant speed and direction.

• Unless acted upon by an UNbalanced force.

• Unbalanced

Newton's Second Law

• Force = Mass X Acceleration

• The more force you apply to an object, the more its motion will change.

Multiple Choice

The more force you apply to an object, ____.

• The more it will accelerate

• The less it will accelerate

Multiple Choice

Newton's Second Law

• Force = Mass X Acceleration

• The more mass an object has, the more force you need to move it.

Connecting Newton's Laws

• Inertia means that an object will keep doing what it was doing.

• As mass increases, inertia increases.

• This is why we need more force to make an object with more mass move - it has more inertia.
