Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The equation is: acceleration = net force/mass. Some key points covered: - Acceleration can be a change in speed, direction, or both. - Net force produces acceleration and acceleration depends on the net force and inversely on the object's mass. - With the same applied force, an object with smaller mass will experience greater acceleration due to its lower mass in the equation F=ma. - Examples show how to use the equation to calculate force, mass, or acceleration when two variables are known.

Newtons Second

Law
The law of acceleration
The rate of change of
momentum is directly
proportional to the impressed
motive force and take place in
the direction in which the force
acts.

3
Equation form:

Acceleration = net force


mass

F = ma
F = mg g = 10 m/s^2
( for gravity)
4
Acceleration
-Acceleration is any process that
velocity changes.
-velocity is a speed and a direction, so
it can be only two ways to accelerate
which are changing in speed or
changing in direction, or both of them.

5
6
Acceleration
-produced by net force on an
object; depends on the net
force
-oppositely proportional to the
mass of the object.

7
Net Force
A net force cause an
acceleration

1. When the same force is applied on both the

bullet and car, the bullet will have more acceleration due

its smaller mass.

10
Using Newtons second law, F=ma!!

11
Example:
- If a truck starts from rest and moves
down a hill with a constant
acceleration. It travels a distance of
400 meter in 20 seconds. Find the
force acting on it if the mass is 7 metric
ton, find the acceleration.
12
SOLUTION

1 metric ton = 1,000 kilogram => 7 metric ton = 7,000


kilogram

S = Vo(t) + at^2
400 = 0 + a(20*20)
400 = 200a
a = 2 m/s^2
Thats a lot of money

THE END
Indicate the F, m and a.
