Back

N (Newtons)

Front

If you increase the mass on an object, its acceleration...

Back

decreases

Front

Calculation of acceleration is represented as...

Back

N/kg (Newtons per kilogram)

Front

Calculation for acceleration can also be expressed as...

Back

N/g (Newtons per gram)

Front

What does the Law of Inertia state?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the formula for Force?

Back

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

Front

What unit is mass measured in?

Back

kg (kilograms)

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What happens to acceleration if the force applied is constant and mass increases?

Back

Acceleration decreases.

Front

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

Back

They are related by Newton's second law of motion: F = m x a.
