NEWTONS SECOND

LAW OF MOTION:
Law of Acceleration

FORCE MASS

FORCE and
ACCELERATION
At constant mass, the
acceleration of an object is
directly proportional to the
net force acting on it.
a=Kf
where:
a= acceleration
k= constant mass
F= force acting on an
object
MASS and ACCELERATION
The relationship of
Acceleration to Mass at
constant force is inversely,
.When mass of the object
increases then its
acceleration decreases and if the
mass decreases then acceleration
increases.

a= k(1/m)
where:
a= acceleration
k= force
m= mass
LAW OF ACCELERATION
Acceleration is directly
proportional to the magnitude
of the net force acting on it and
is inversely proportional to its
mass.
A=F
n
/ m
where:
a= acceleration
F
n
= net force
M= mass

Sample Problem:
Suppose a ball of mass 0.60 kg is hit
with a force of 12 Newton (N). its
acceleration will be:
Given:
m=0.60 kg
F
net
=12 N
Find:
a=?



Free Fall and Newtons Second Law
of Motion


Law of Inertia:
The lighter one will be
the first to reach the
ground because it has
lesser inertia.
Law of Acceleration:
The heavier book
will be the one to
reach the ground
first because of
gravity the pulls it
with a greater
force.





Both of the books reach the
ground at the same time because
of the gravity that acts on its
surface. This gravity which is the
same for all objects on Earth and
is equal to 9.8 m/s
2
causes the
books to accelerate and this
acceleration is what we called
acceleration due to gravity (ag).
This means that when two
objects are drop at the same
time from the same height these
objects will reach the ground at
the same time even if they differ
in Mass.

What is the Second Law of
Motion?
Who can state the Law of
Acceleration?

What is the relationship
between Force and
Acceleration?

Who can describe the
relationship of Acceleration to
Mass?

What is the formula in finding
acceleration?

A ball with a mass of 0.6 kg is
move of with a force 24 N.
What is its acceleration
1. A net force of 15 N is
exerted on an encyclopedia
with a mass of 3 kg. What is its
acceleration?

2. A 3.5 kg papaya is pushed
across a table by a force of 7.7
N. What is its acceleration?

Assignment:

1. Cite two examples of object in
circular motion
2. Determine the acceleration when a
12 N net force is applied to a 3 kg
object and then to a 6 kg. object.
3. Research on the Third Law of Motion
