Understanding Acceleration and Force

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the acceleration of an object using its mass and the force applied to it. It begins with an introduction to the concept of acceleration and the formula used to calculate it. The instructor sets up an example problem involving a car with a mass of 500 kilograms and a force of 1000 Newtons. The formula for force equals mass times acceleration is rearranged to solve for acceleration. Finally, the instructor demonstrates the calculation, resulting in an acceleration of 2 meters per second squared.

What is the mass of the car mentioned in the problem?

• 1000 kilograms

• 500 kilograms

• 1500 kilograms

• 2000 kilograms

Which formula is used to calculate acceleration from force and mass?

• Force equals mass times acceleration

• Force equals mass divided by acceleration

• Force equals mass times velocity

• Force equals acceleration divided by mass

What is the rearranged formula to find acceleration?

• Acceleration equals mass times force

• Acceleration equals force divided by mass

• Acceleration equals mass divided by force

• Acceleration equals force times mass

If a force of 1000 Newtons is applied to a car with a mass of 500 kilograms, what is the acceleration?

• 1 meter per second squared

• 2 meters per second squared

• 0.5 meters per second squared

• 4 meters per second squared

What is the unit of acceleration in the given example?

• Meters per second squared

• Newtons per kilogram

• Kilograms per second squared

• Meters per second
