SP2d Newton 2nd Law

Question 1

Describe what an acceleration is

Answer 1

Acceleration is the change in speed or velocity of an object over a certain time.

Question 2

List the factors that affect the acceleration of an object.

Answer 2

the mass of the object and the amount of the force applied to it.

Question 3

Recall the equation that relates the factors

affecting acceleration.

Answer 3

Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²)

Question 4

Explain what inertial mass means.

Answer 4

The ratio of force over acceleration is called inertial mass. Inertial mass is a measure of how difficult it is to change the velocity of an object.
