Forces and Motion Calculations

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

If a force of 26 N is exerted on two balls, one with a mass of 0.52 kg and the other with a mass of 0.78 kg, which ball will have the greater acceleration?  (F=ma)

• The one with a mass of .78 kg will have the greatest acceleration.
• The one with a mass of .52 kg will have the greatest acceleration.
• They will both accelerate at the same rate.
