Newton's 2nd Law Flashcard

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. It can be expressed with the formula F=MA.

Front

What is the formula to calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) can be calculated using the formula a = F/M, where F is the net force and M is the mass of the object.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for force?

Back

The unit of measurement for force is Newton (N).

Front

If a car has a mass of 6 kg and a net force of 24 N is applied, what is the car's acceleration?

Back

4 m/s².

Front

What is the unit of measurement for acceleration?

Back

The unit of measurement for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

How do you calculate net force?

Back

Net force can be calculated using the formula F = MA, where F is the net force, M is the mass, and A is the acceleration.

Front

If a dog has a mass of 15 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s², what is the net force acting on the dog?

Back

30 N.

Front

What happens to acceleration if mass increases while the net force remains constant?

Back

If mass increases while the net force remains constant, the acceleration decreases.

Front

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

Back

The relationship is described by Newton's 2nd Law: Force equals mass times acceleration (F=MA).

Front

If a force of 50 N is applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the object's acceleration be?

Back

100 m/s².
