Presentation Transcript

  1. Newton’s Second Law of Motion

  2. From our lab over the past 2 days… What happened when we increased the mass of the car but kept the force constant? Acceleration decreased What happened when we increased the force pulling on the car but kept the mass constant? Acceleration increased

  3. Newton’s Second Law of Motion • The acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass • The direction in which an object accelerates is the same as the direction of the net force

  4. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Force = mass x acceleration Acceleration = force / mass Mass = force / acceleration

  5. Units • Force is measured in Newtons (N) • 1 Newton equals the force required to accelerate 1kg of mass at 1m/s2

  6. Copy and try to fill in the blank squares Increases Decreases Increases Decreases Decreases Increases

  7. Which activity that we did represents each of these? Increases Decreases Increases Decreases Decreases Increases

  8. Force = mass x acceleration Mass = force / acceleration Acceleration = force / mass
