Chapter 10.1 Forces and acceleration Flashcards
1
Q
What can inertial mass be defined as?
A
Inertial mass can be defined as force/acceleration ( / =divide)
2
Q
What is the equation of the resultant force acting on an object?
A
Force (N) = Mass(kg) X Acceleration(m/s2)
3
Q
What does Newton’s second law of motion say that acceleration of an object is?
A
- Proportional to the resultant force on the object
- Inversely proportional to the mass of the object
4
Q
What is Newton’s second law of motion?
A
The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
5
Q
What is the equation for the resultant force?
A
Resultant force = mass X acceleration
6
Q
What is the triangle for the equation F=ma?
A
M X A
