A. Effect of Force to Acceleration
At this point you should be able to state the effect of net force to the
acceleration of an object. This is the first fragment of the statement
of Newton’s Second Law of Motion or the Law of Acceleration!
Encircle the correct term enclosed in the parenthesis to complete
each statement in the box below.
B. Effect of Mass to Acceleration
Directions: Investigate the effect of mass to an object’s acceleration
by examining the given
situations below. Answer the questions that follow.
a. Two wooden carts lying on a frictionless horizontal floor are
pushed with equal amount of force of 10 N to the right. The
first cart has a mass of 5 kg, while the second cart has a
mass of 10 kg.
