How does force impact upon travel (acceleration, distance) of an object?
How does mass of the object impact upon travel of a second object?
Which of Newtons Laws accounts for this?
Homework Equations
Newton's Second and Third Law
The Attempt at a Solution
Greater force = further travel
Heaver object = decreased travel
Newton's Second law for first one, Third law for second one
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is often measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g).
Force is a push or pull on an object that causes it to accelerate. It is measured in Newtons (N).
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=ma). In other words, the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to accelerate it.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can vary depending on the strength of gravity.
The force of an object can be calculated by multiplying its mass by its acceleration (F=ma). If the object is affected by multiple forces, the net force can be calculated by adding together all the individual forces acting on the object.
