Presentation transcript:

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma) Newton’s Second Law “Law of Acceleration” Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

More about F = ma The SI unit of force is the Newton. (Named in honor of Isaac Newton) 1 Newton of force is the amount of force needed to cause a 1 kilogram mass to accelerate at a rate of 1 m/s2. 1N = kg • m/s2

What does F = ma say? F = ma basically means that the force of an object comes from its mass and its acceleration. Something very massive (high mass) that’s changing speed very slowly (low acceleration), like a glacier, can still have great force. Something very small (low mass) that’s changing speed very quickly (high acceleration), like a bullet, can still have a great force. Something very small changing speed very slowly will have a very weak force.

WEIGHT A measure of the gravitational force that a massive object, puts on another mass Weight = mass x acceleration of gravity FW = m∙g An object’s weight on planet Earth in Newton's is equal to its mass (in kilograms) times 9.81 m/s2.

Free Body Diagrams A free body diagram shows all forces on a given object represented by vector arrows in the direction of the forces. Is there gravity? ( FW ) Is it sitting on a surface ( FN ) Is something pushing or pulling it? ( FA ) (Applied) Is there friction? ( Ff ) Is there acceleration? (+ in the direction of movement)

Example #1 A certain net force acting on a 5-kg mass produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2. Calculate the force. F= ma F= (5 kg) x (2 m/s2) F= 10 N

Example #2 A cyclist and her machine have a combined mass of 80 kg. Calculate the constant net force required to produce a velocity of 12 m/s in 4 s when the machine starts from rest. Vf = Vi + at 12 m/s = 0 + (a)(4) a = 3 m/s2 Vi = 0 Vf = 12 m/s t = 4 s a = ? d = Who Cares F = ma F = 80 kg x 3 m/s2 F = 240 N

Example #3 It took 2.3 seconds for a car’s velocity to change from 20 m/s to 35 m/s. The mass of the car was 1370 kg. What force was required to cause the acceleration? F = 8,932 N

Example #4: An automobile of mass 1500 kg is moving at 15 m/s. What average net forward force is required to accelerate the automobile to 25 m/s over a distance of 100 m? F = 3,000 N

Example #5: What is the weight of a 50-kg girl if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2? What would her weight be if the acceleration due to gravity was 1.57 m/s2?

Example #6: What is the mass of a boy who weighs 1,815 newton’s?
