calculation of acceleration

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state about an object's acceleration?

• It is inversely proportional to the net force.

• It is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

• It is directly proportional to the net force.

• It is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

How is acceleration calculated using force and mass?

• Acceleration = Force x Mass

• Acceleration = Mass / Force

• Acceleration = Force / Mass

• Acceleration = Mass x Force

Object A has a mass of 4 kg and a force of 24 N acting on it. Object B has a mass of 5 kg and a force of 10 N acting on it. How does the acceleration of object A compare to the acceleration of object B?

Reference the article that is attached to the quiz

• The acceleration of object A is less than the acceleration of object B because it has less mass and a greater force acting on it.

• The acceleration of object A is greater than the acceleration of object B because it has less mass and a greater force acting on it.

• The acceleration of object A is less than the acceleration of object B because it has less mass and less force acting on it.

• The acceleration of object A is greater than the acceleration of object B because it has more mass and a greater force acting on it.

Two footballs with the same mass are placed in front of a goal post. The distance between each football and the goal is the same. The force that will be applied when each football is kicked is shown in the image. Which kick will make the football reach the goal post first?

Reference the article that is attached to the quiz

• Kick 1, because the football will be kicked with less force

• Kick 1, because the football will have a greater acceleration

• Kick 2, because the football will have a greater acceleration

• Kick 1 and kick 2, because the footballs have the same masses

• Car A

• Car B

• Both cars will reach at the same time

• It cannot be determined
