Force and Acceleration
1.
2. Small force = small acceleration Same force, half the weight = double the acceleration Force Acceleration Same force, double the weight = half the acceleration Force Acceleration Acceleration Force
3. Newton’s Second Law The idea that acceleration depends upon how big the force is, and how heavy the object, is called Newtons Second Law of Motion It can be stated in the equation: Force = mass x acceleration F = ma Force is measured in newtons (N) Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) Acceleration is measured in m/s 2
