Answer the following based on Newton's Second Law:
• How much net force is required to accelerate a 12 kg mass at 3 m/s^2?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Fnet = (12 kg) * (3 m/s^2) = 36 (kg * m)/s^2 = 36 N
#$&*
• What would be the acceleration of a 4 kg mass subject to a net force of 20 Newtons?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
20 N = 4 kg * a
a= 5 m/s^2
#$&*
• If you exert a force of 20 Newtons on a 10-kg object and it accelerates in the direction of your force at 1.5 m/s^2, then how do you know there are other forces acting on the object besides your own?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
20 N = 10kg * 1.5 m/s^2
15 N
F_net = 20 N - 5 N(difference)
Therefore; 5 in opposite direction
#$&*
• What is the total of all those forces and in what direction does this total act?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Fnet = m * a,
Fnet = 15 N
This could be in any direction you apply force, the question doesn’t give enough details to answer.
