But this does not happen!
Fnet=ma
• If mass remains constant and the net force acting on the object
increases, the acceleration will ____________________.
Acceleration is __________________ proportional to net force!
• If the net force is constant but the mass is increased, the acceleration
will______________________.
Acceleration is __________________ proportional to mass!
Newton’s 1st & Second Law
What’s the difference?
Newton’s 1st Law Newton’s 2nd Law
Sample 2nd Law Problem:
A horizontal push of 25 N is applied to a 12 kg crate which is
initially at rest. A kinetic frictional force of 3 N opposes the
motion of the crate. What is the acceleration of the crate?
Step I: FBD
Draw a free body diagram of all forces acting on object!
Step III: Plug and chug! Plug the appropriate numbers into Newton’s
Second Law. Don’t forget direction if you are solving for a vector
quantity!
Newton's Third Law of Motion
According to Newton's third law, for every action force
there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction)
reaction force.
