Effect of resultant force

Changes velocity (speed/direction)

Force-acceleration relationship

Bigger force = bigger acceleration (same mass)

Combining forces: same direction

Add together

Combining forces: opposite directions

Subtract from each other

Resultant force if balanced

Zero

Newton's 2nd law equation

F=maF = ma

FF units in F=maF = ma

Newtons (N)

mm units in F=maF = ma

Kilograms (kg)

aa units in F=maF = ma

m/s2m/s^2

Larger mass effect (same force)

Smaller acceleration

Acceleration direction

Same as resultant force

Acceleration when resultant force =0= 0

Zero
