8.6A F=MxA Flashcard #3

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the mass of an object if a force of 500 N produces an acceleration of 10 m/s²?

Back

Mass (m) = Force (F) / Acceleration (a) = 500 N / 10 m/s² = 50 kg.

Front

If a 3 kg skateboard is accelerated at 5 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a) = 3 kg × 5 m/s² = 15 N.

Front

What is the net force acting on an object?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

How do you find the net force if multiple forces are acting in the same direction?

Back

Add all the forces together to find the net force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's second law?

Back

An increase in mass results in a decrease in acceleration if the force remains constant.
