    Law of Acceleration: Sir Isaac Newton

    Uploaded by

    Ericka Huseña
    Newton's second law of motion, also known as the law of acceleration, states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Specifically, the acceleration (A) of an object is equal to the net force (F) acting on the object divided by its mass (M). Sir Isaac Newton discovered this law and published it in his 1687 work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, establishing that a greater net force applied to an object results in a higher acceleration, while applying the same force to an object with greater mass results in a lower acceleration due to the object's increased inertia. Examples of Newton's second law in everyday contexts include kicking

    LAW OF ACCELERATION

    ERICKA S. HUSEÑ A

     THE SCIENTIST

    Sir Isaac Newton

    He is an English scientist and mathematician famous for his discovery of the


    law of gravity also discovered the three Laws of Motion. He published them in
    his book Philisophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687. Today these
    laws are also known as Newton’s Laws of Motion and describe the motion of
    all objects on the scale we experience in our everyday lives.

     DEFINITION

    Force is an action that can change motion.

    A force is what we call push of pull, or any action that has the ability to change
    an object’s motion.

    Forces can be used to increase the speed of an object, decrease the speed of an
    object, or change the direction in which the object is moving.

    Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

    Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity.

     NEWTON'S SECOND LAW

    LAW OF ACCELERATION

    This states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables -
    net force acting upon an object and the mass of an object.

    If you apply more force to an object, it accelerates to a higher rate.

    If the same force is applied to an object with greater mass, the object
    accelerates at a slower rate because mass adds inertia.

     EXAMPLES
    Kicking a ball... When we kick a ball, we exert force in a specific direction,
    which is the direction in which it will travel. In addition, the stronger that ball
    is kicked, the stronger the force we put on it and the further away it will go.

    Two people walking together... Two people walking together, but one of
    them has a lower weight than the other, although they walk with the same
    amount of force, who weighs less will go faster because their acceleration is
    certainly greater.

    Playing golf... In a golf game, the acceleration of the ball is directly


    proportional to the force applied to the club and inversely proportional to its
    mass.

    Pushing the table... When we push a small and a big table, the small table
    will have a bigger acceleration so that the smaller table will get to the
    destination faster.

     FORMULA

    A=F/M M=F/A F=MA

     SAMPLE PROBLEM
    1. Your own car has a mass of 200 kg. If your car produces a force of
    5000n, how fast will it accelerate?

    It will accelerate to 25 m/s2

    2. A net force of 15 n is exerted on an encyclopedia to cause it to accelerate


    at a rate of 5 m/s2. Determine the mass of the encyclopedia.

    The mass of the encyclopedia is 3kg

    3. How much force is needed to push a 80 kg machine with an acceleration


    of 2 m/s2?

    160 N force is needed to push the machine

     EXERCISE
    1) A net force of 10 Newtons acts on a box which has a mass of 2 kg. What
    will be the acceleration of the box?
    2) How much horizontal net force is required to accelerate a 1000 kg car at
    2 m/s2?
     SYNOPSIS

    The law of acceleration describes the relationship of mass, force and


    acceleration. This was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. This law states that if a
    net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of an object.
