The document discusses Newton's second law of motion and the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration through examples of boys pulling loads, objects receiving different amounts of force, and a boy and girl on a swing. It analyzes these examples to determine that force is directly proportional to mass but inversely proportional to acceleration, and greater force results in higher acceleration. The law of acceleration is expressed as an equation where acceleration equals net force divided by mass.

What is acceleration? Giving the same amount of push, which object was able to move, the skate board or the car? Why? Group 1. Boy A pulling a 10kg load and Boy B pulling a 20kg load
Question: Which among these boys require more force to pull
and move the load? Why? Answer: Boy B will require more force to accelerate the load, because force is directly proportional to the mass of an object. Group 2. Applying more force to an object with the same mass
Question: Which figure will have greater acceleration? Why?
Answer: The second figure with more force will have greater acceleration, because given the same mass, and greater force applied will make the object accelerate at a higher rate. Group 3. A boy and a girl on the Swing
Question: Given the same amount of force, who will have a
greater movement on the swing, the boy or the girl? Why? Answer: The girl, because she has lesser mass and mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. Analysis Group 1. What is the relationship between mass and force?
Answer: Mass is directly proportional to Force. An object with higher
mass will require more force to accelerate an object. Group 2. What is the relationship between force and acceleration?
Answer: Force is directly proportional to Acceleration. The greater is
the force applied, the higher is the rate of acceleration. Group 3. What is the relationship between mass and acceleration? Answer: Mass is inversely proportional to Acceleration. Lesser mass will have higher rate of acceleration. Law of Acceleration (Newton’s Second Law of Motion) The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force acting on it and is inversely proportional to its mass. This statement actually pertains to Newton’s second law of motion or Law of Acceleration, because it is concerned with the relation of acceleration to mass and force. Law of Acceleration (Newton’s Second Law of Motion) This can be expressed in equation form as: Acceleration = Net force/mass a = Fnet / mass
This is often rearranged as: Fnet = ma
Force has a unit and is expressed in newton (N). One newton is defined as the amount of force required to give a 1-kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/s/s, or 1 newton (N) = 1 kg.m/s2 Do the application by group!
