Understanding Newton's Second Law of Motion: Force, Mass, and Acceleration Explained

Chapter 10 dives into Newton's Second Law of Motion, described by the equation ( F = ma ) (Force = Mass × Acceleration). It emphasizes that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to accelerate it. Using practical examples like a speedboat pulling a water skier and a wagon's acceleration, we demonstrate how to calculate net force and acceleration. This chapter also encourages problem-solving using the law and provides critical insights into motion dynamics.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 10 Newton’s 2nd Law of motion

  2. Newtonhas Three Laws of Motion

  3. Chapter 10 Details Main Ideas 2nd Law F=MA Newton’s Second Law – FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION The GREATER THE MASS of an object, the MORE FORCE it can exert The GREATER THE ACCELERATION, the MORE FORCE it can exert

  4. Chapter 10 Details Main Ideas 2nd Law equation With this equation we can solve for each variable FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION F M A Force/Acceleration Mass = Acceleration = Force/Mass

  5. Chapter 10 Details Main Ideas 2nd Law example Question #1 A speedboat pulls a 55kg water skier at an acceleration of 2.0m/s/s. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration. Force= Mass x Acceleration 55kg X 2m/s/s _______ 110 N

  6. Question # 2 • What is the force that is need to pull a 25kg wagon at an acceleration of 14m/s/s? • F=mxa 25kg x 14m/s/s =350N

  7. Question #3 • What is the acceleration of a 60kg Boa Constrictor with a force of 120N? • a=f/m • 120N / 60kg = 2 m/s/s

  8. Next • Now go to Newton’s 2nd law to solve some word problems.
