Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
What is the equation for Newton's Second Law
F = ma, where F is the resultant force in Newtons, m is the mass in kg, and a is the acceleration in m/s²
How is acceleration related to force and mass?
Acceleration is directly proportional to force (a ∝ F) and inversely proportional to mass (a ∝ 1/m)
What is inertial mass and how is it calculated?
Inertial mass is a measure of how difficult it is to change the velocity of an object. It can be calculated using the equation: inertial mass (kg) = force (N) / acceleration (m/s²) or m = F/a
