  • Newtons 2nd law - When a resultant force acts on a mass then there will be a change in its velocity . The resultant force determines the size and direction of the after the acceleration of the mass.
  • This has a resultant force of 0 N
    The direction is none
  • This has a resultant force of 5 N
    The direction is right
  • This has a resultant force of 1 N
    The direction is right
  • The acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
  • The equation relating : force , mass and acceleration is
    Resultant force ( N ) = Mass ( KG ) X Acceleration ( m/s )
  • When the resultant force is 0 the acceleration is 0
  • A negative force means the object is accelerating backwards
  • Inertial mass is a measure of how difficult it is to change the velocity of a moving object
