Document Summary

The acceleration of an object is depend upon two variables; The net force acting upon the object. The net free is proportion to acceleration. Mass has an inverse relationship with acceleration. Greater your mass the less acceleration you will have. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction: runner exerts force on the block, starting block exerts a force on the runner. No direct interaction (forced acting at a distance from each other. Any object released from a height will fall freely to the earth surface due to gravity. The force of gravity causes an object to accelerate towards the earth at a rate of 9. 81m/s2. M = body mass or object mass (kg) W - the body weight of an object. A reaction force is provided by the surface when one is moving. Every surface an individual interacts with has a reaction force.

1. Which of the following describes an object with a non-zero netforce acting on it? Choose all that apply.
The moped accelerated while making a left turn.
The motorcycle traveled at a constant speed while making au-turn.
The truck slowed down while making a right turn.
The spaceship traveled at a constant speed in a straightline.
The car sped up from 50 mph to 65 mph while moving in a straightline.

2. If you observe that an object is accelerating, what should youconclude?
A non-zero net force is acting on it. Only forces causeacceleration. As such, if an object is accelerating it must bebecause a non-zero net force is acting on it.
It must be in free fall.
It must be changing direction. Acceleration is a vector and vectorshave both magnitude and direction. Thus if an object isaccelerating it must be changing direction.
The forces acting on the object must be greater than the forces theobject is exerting.
It must be speeding up. If an object is accelerating that means itis speeding up.

3. Which of the following are true according to Newton's 2nd Law?Choose all that apply.

If the acceleration is zero, then the net force is zero.
If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with more masswill have a greater acceleration.
If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with less masswill have a greater acceleration.
If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with less masswill have a larger net force exerted on it.
If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with more masswill have a larger net force exerted on it.
The larger the net force on an object is, the larger theacceleration.
The larger the net force on an object is, the smaller theacceleration.
