2. Newton’s Second Law Force and motion are related
An object will have greater acceleration if a greater force is applied to it
The mass of an object and the force applied to it affect acceleration
Newton’s second law of motion- connects force, mass, and acceleration in the equation acceleration equals net force divided by mass
F = m x a or a = F/m
3. Newton’s Second Law Friction- force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching each other
Microwelds- areas where surfaces stick together- the source of friction
Friction between two surfaces that are not moving past each other is called static friction
Sliding friction- force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other
Friction between a rolling object and the surface it rolls on is called rolling friction
4. Newton’s Second Law Air resistance- the force that opposes the force of gravity
The amount of air resistance depends on an object’s shape, size, and speed
Terminal velocity- forces on a falling object are balanced and the object falls with constant speed
