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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The net force is equal to 12*3 which equals 36N
• What would be the acceleration of a 4 kg mass subject to a net force of 20 Newtons?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The acceleration would be 20 divided by 4 which equals 5m/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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Because the net force on the object is equal to 10*1.5 which is 15N. The net force equals the sum of the force applied plus the opposing frictional forces. Therefore there is a 5N frictional force going against the object. Also, the acceleration if there were no other forces would be 2m/s^2.
• What is the total of all those forces and in what direction does this total act?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Because the net force on the object is equal to 10*1.5 which is 15N. The net force equals the sum of the force applied plus the opposing frictional forces. Therefore there is a 5N frictional force going against the object
