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?
The net force equation is Fnet = mass * acceleration
Fnet = 12kg * 3m/s^2
Fnet = 26 N
Good, but 12 * 3 = 36, so it's 36 N
A newton N is a kg * m/s^2
answer/question/discussion:
• What would be the acceleration of a 4 kg mass subject to a net force of 20 Newtons?
Using the same equation,
Fnet = ma
20 N = 4kg * a
A = 5 m/sec^2
answer/question/discussion:
• 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?
Exclude the total force of 20N. By myself pushing a 10kg object at 1.5m/s^2 would result in me using a force of 15N. If 20N is the net force, that would mean that there is a total of 5N assisting me in some way.
answer/question/discussion:
• What is the total of all those forces and in what direction does this total act?
The total of those forces is 5 Newtons (20 N – 5N = 15N, which is what I am doing alone.) The 5N is moving in a positive direction, the same as me.
