Newton's Second Law of Motion Flashcards
Law of Acceleration (6 cards)
1
Q
What is this law of motion also known as?
A
Law of Acceleration
2
Q
What does Newton’s second law do?
A
Newton’s second law says that when an unbalanced force is applied to an object, it causes it to accelerate.
3
Q
If the same force is applied to an object with a large mass, It will have …. acceleration?
If the same force is applied to an object with a small mass, it will have …. acceleration?
A
less and more
4
Q
The equation that is used to solve second law problem is?
A
F = ma
5
Q
What does each of the variable mean in F=ma?
A
F = Force
M = Mass
A = Acceleration
6
Q
What unit of measurement must be used with each variable in F = ma?
A
F = Newtons
M = Kg
A = M/s2 (square)
