8.6A F=MxA Flashcard #2

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Second 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 = m × a.

Front

What does the symbol 'F' represent in the equation F = m × a?

Back

In the equation F = m × a, 'F' represents the net force applied to an object, measured in newtons (N).

Front

What does the symbol 'm' represent in the equation F = m × a?

Back

In the equation F = m × a, 'm' represents the mass of the object, measured in kilograms (kg).

Front

What does the symbol 'a' represent in the equation F = m × a?

Back

In the equation F = m × a, 'a' represents the acceleration of the object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

How do you calculate the mass of an object if you know the force and acceleration?

Back

To calculate the mass of an object, use the formula m = F / a, where F is the force applied and a is the acceleration.

Front

If a force of 250 N is applied to an object and it accelerates at 5 m/s², what is the mass of the object?

Back

50 kg

Front

How do you calculate acceleration if you know the force and mass?

Back

To calculate acceleration, use the formula a = F / m, where F is the force applied and m is the mass of the object.

Front

If a 50 kg object is pushed with a force of 500 N, what is its acceleration?

Back

10 m/s²

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

The formula to calculate force is F = m × a.

Front

If a 50 kg student is pushed with a force of 20 N, what is the student's acceleration?

Back

0.40 m/s²
