What does Newton's Second Law help us measure?
What does Newton's Second Law help us measure?
Size of acceleration or deceleration
Acceleration vs resultant force relationship
Acceleration vs resultant force relationship
Directly proportional
Acceleration vs mass relationship
Acceleration vs mass relationship
Inversely proportional
Newton's Second Law formula
Newton's Second Law formula
Result of zero resultant force
Result of zero resultant force
Constant speed, no acceleration
Effect of larger resultant force
Effect of larger resultant force
Larger acceleration
Heavier object, same force effect
Heavier object, same force effect
Lower acceleration
Same mass, higher force result
Same mass, higher force result
Greater acceleration
Same force, higher mass result
Same force, higher mass result
Lower acceleration
Definition of inertial mass
Definition of inertial mass
Measure of how difficult it is to change velocity of an object
Inertial mass formula
Inertial mass formula
or force/acceleration
As force increases, acceleration
As force increases, acceleration
Increases (proportional)
As mass increases, acceleration
As mass increases, acceleration
Decreases (inversely proportional)
Force needed for heavier object
Force needed for heavier object
More force needed to accelerate it
