The Relationship Between Mass and Acceleration

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law of Motion?

• Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma)

• Mass equals force times acceleration (m = Fa)

• Acceleration equals force times mass (a = Fm)

• Force equals acceleration divided by mass (F = a/m)

How does mass affect the acceleration of an object when the same force is applied?

• A heavier object accelerates slower than a lighter object

• A heavier object accelerates faster than a lighter object

• Mass does not affect acceleration

• Both objects accelerate at the same rate

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity on that object

• Mass changes with location, while weight remains constant

• Weight is the amount of matter in an object, while mass is the force of gravity on that object

• Mass and weight are the same and can be used interchangeably

Why does a heavier car need more force to speed up compared to a lighter car?

• Because it has more mass

• Because it has less mass

• Because it has more acceleration

• Because it has less acceleration

What happens to weight when you go to the moon or another planet?

• Weight changes because gravity is different

• Weight remains the same

• Weight increases

• Weight decreases
