Name: Faith Mekins Chapter 2 Worksheet – Newton’s Laws

1. Accelera on is obtained of 6 m/s2 6 kg

with a force of 36 N. What is the
mass of the object accelera ng?
2. You are accelera ng a mass of The accelera on also quadruples.
2500 kg. If you quadruple the
force applied what happens to
the accelera on?
3 A mass of 100 kg is accelerated at 1000N
10 m/s2. How much force is
applied?
4. An object weights 5 N, what is its 5N
mass on Earth?
5. A 10 Ton object is dropped from a
building with minimal air
resistance. What is the
accelera on of the object?
6. You drop a 20 Ton object and a 10 All objects experience the same accelera on when they fall.
Ton object at the same me. How
does the accelera on compare
through the fall assuming
minimal air resistance.
7. You calculate the accelera on of Free fall situa on.
an object and note that it is well
below g. What can be said about
the object?
8. A sky diver reaches a terminal 2 m/s*2
velocity of 120 mph. What will
the accelera on of the diver be?

9. A 40 N object encounters 25 N of 7.5 m/s*2, Less than g.

air resistance. What is the
accelera on?
10. A bug collides with a bus with a
Force of 0.2 N. The mass of the
bus is 7500 kg, and the mass of
the bug is 0.05 kg. How do the
resul ng accelera ons compare?
