  1. Net Force causes acceleration • From now on we will just refer to them as forces.

  2. Apply double the force – cause double the acceleration • Apply 1/3 the force – cause 1/3 the acceleration • What is the relationship between force and acceleration? • i.e. Are they directly proportional or inversely proportional?

  3. Bonus knowledge • What does i.e. stand for? • i.e. means “that is” or “in other words”. • The initials come from the Latin phrase “id est”, which means “that is”.

  4. Inertia resists change. • Mass resists change. • Mass and inertia are the same thing.

  5. Inertia resists change. • Mass resists change. • This is not a surprise since mass and inertia are the same thing.

  6. If we apply a force to a mass, we get acceleration. • If we apply double the force to the same mass, we get double the acceleration. • What is the relationship between force and acceleration? • i.e. Are they directly proportional or inversely proportional?

  7. If we apply a force to a mass, we get acceleration. • If we apply the same force to double the mass, we only get ½ the acceleration. • What is the relationship between mass and acceleration?

  8. Check your understanding • If we apply a force to a mass, we get acceleration. • If we apply 3 times the force to the same mass, we get _____________ the acceleration.

  9. If we apply a force to a mass, we get acceleration. • If we apply 1/2 the force to the same mass, we get _______ the acceleration.

  10. If we apply a force to a mass, we get acceleration. • If we apply ___________ the force to the same mass, we get 5 times the acceleration.

  11. If we apply a force to a mass, we get acceleration. • If we apply the same force to 3 times the mass, we get____________ the acceleration.

  12. If we apply a force to a mass, we get acceleration. • If we apply the same force to 1/5 of the mass, we get____________ the acceleration.

  13. Newton’s 2nd Law The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. • i.e. • a= f/m • More commonly written as • F = ma
