Newtons Second Law

• F m a
• The acceleration of an object is directly
  proportional to the net force acting on the
  object
• and inversely proportional to the mass of the
  object.

4
Example Questions

• The same net force is applied to two blocks.
• If the blue one has a smaller mass than the
  yellow one, which one will have the larger
  acceleration?

5
Example Questions

• How much acceleration does a 747 jumbo jet of
  mass 30,000 kg experience in takeoff when the
  thrust of all of the engines is 120,000 N?
