Question

Newton’s Second Law of Motion (Fill in theblanks.)

The acceleration that a body undergoes is __________proportional to the net force acting on it and _________proportional to its mass. The acceleration is in the samedirection as the net force.

If 10,000 N of force is applied to a small car, and 10,000 N offorce is applied to a big truck, which will undergo the greateracceleration? __________________________________

Which force will give a greater acceleration to a certain car:the 5,000 N force or the 15,000 Nforce? ________________

Explanation / Answer

the formula is Force=mass*acceleration, so:

The acceleration that a body undergoes is DIRECTLYproportional to the net force acting on it and INVERSELYproportional to its mass. The acceleration is in the samedirection as the net force.

If 10,000 N of force is applied to a small car, and 10,000 N offorce is applied to a big truck, which will undergo the greateracceleration?

the small car will undergo greater acceleration becauseit has less mass to accelerate than the big truck

Which force will give a greater acceleration to a certain car:the 5,000 N force or the 15,000 N force?

the 15000 N force will give greater acceleration becauseit is larger.
