Law of Acceleration

Newton's second law of motion states that when a net force acts on an object, it will accelerate in the direction of the force. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This document introduces Newton's second law of motion and provides examples to demonstrate the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration.

FORCE AND
MOTION

Science
is Cool!
MELCS:
Investigate the relationship between
the amount of force applied and the
mass of the object to the amount of
change in the object's motion(S8FE-
Ia- 15)
Objectives
Identify and describe the
effect of an object's mass
and the amount of force
applied on the object's
motion.
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: Law of
acceleration
When a net force acts on an object, it will
accelerate in the direction of the force.

Acceleration is directly Acceleration is inversely


proportional to the force proportional to the mass
applied of the object
Note:
The unit of force, is Newton (N) is defined as the
amount of force required to give 1 kg mass an
acceleration of 1m/s/s or 1m/s2. It is equal to a unit
of mass times a unit of acceleration.

1N = 1kg.m/s2
Try:
A crate has a mass of 25 kg. What is
the acceleration produced when a
100N net force is exerted to push it?
To solve the problem we can use the
relationship of mass an acceleration. Given
that the mass of the soccer ball and beach
ball are 2.5 kg and 0.85 kg respectively, and
acceleration of the soccer ball of 1.2 m/s, the
acceleration of the beach ball is 3. 53m/s2
SUMMARY
When a force acts on an object, it will accelerate in
the direction of the force with an amount directly
proportional to the force exerted while inversely
proportional to the mass of the object. This
relationship can be explained by Newton's Second
law of Motion or the law of acceleration.
