An object of mass 10 kg is accelerated upward at 2 m/s2. What force is required?
If a force of 50 Newton's was applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the object's acceleration be? (HINT - UNITS!)
10 m/s^2
.1 m/s^2
100 m/s^2
1 m/s^2
To calculate Force
Force = m x a
Force = m ÷ a
Force = a ÷ m
Force = m + a
To calculate m
m = Force × a
m = Force ÷ a
m = Force + a
m = a ÷ Force
To calculate a
a = Force × m
a = Force ÷ m
a = Force + m
a = m ÷ Force

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion at constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of the force applied.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Friction
In equation form, Newton's Second Law of motion can be expressed as
F=ma
v=d/t
a=v/t
p=mv

Acceleration is a speeding up, slowing down or a change in direction. Is the following acceleration and if so, which one?
A swimmer has 10 meters left in the race and he is neck-in-neck with his competitor. He has a surge of adrenaline and pulls ahead to win.
Yes, this is acceleration since the swimmer starts to speed up to pull ahead.
Yes, this is acceleration since the swimmer uses the wall to change directions.
No, this is not acceleration since there is no speeding up, slowing down, or change in direction.
