Force= Mass x Acceleration

Front

What is Force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object.

Front

What is the formula for Force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a)

Front

What is Mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms (kg).

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What unit is used to measure Force?

Back

The unit of measure for Force is Newtons (N).

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s², what is the force?

Back

Force = 10 kg x 2 m/s² = 20 N.

Front

If a force of 50 N is applied to an object with a mass of 10 kg, what is the acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = Force / Mass = 50 N / 10 kg = 5 m/s².

Front

Which ball will accelerate faster if a force of 30 N is applied: a 1 kg ball or a 2 kg ball?

Back

The 1 kg ball will accelerate faster.

Front

What happens to acceleration if mass increases but force stays the same?

Back

Acceleration decreases.

Front

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

Back

If mass increases, acceleration decreases if force is constant.
