If the same force is applied to an object with a large mass, it will have a smaller acceleration. If the same force is applied to an object with a small mass, it will have a larger acceleration.
In the equation f = ma, each variable represents the following:
f = force, which is the push or pull on an object (unit: Newton, N)
m = mass, which is the amount of matter in an object (unit: kilogram, kg)
a = acceleration, which is the change in velocity per unit of time (unit: meter per second squared, m/s^2)
Therefore, the unit of measurement for each variable is as follows:
f = N
m = kg
a = m/s^2
if the same force is applied to an object with a large mass, it will have a __________ acceleration if the same force is applied to an object with a small mass, it will have a __________ acceleration the equation that is used to solve second law problems is f=ma.
what do each of the variables mean?
f =_________ m =__________ a = __________
what unit of measurement must be used with each variable?
f = __________ m = __________ a = __________
