•How much force is needed

by the man to push the car?

•which of the two balls will
accelerates faster?
Why?
•1. Differentiate the two balls in terms of mass.
Which has the greater mass?
•2. If equal amount of force will be applied in
the two balls, then which will accelerate faster?
1. State the second law of motion
2. How is acceleration related to the object’s mass
and the amount
of force exerted?
3. What relationship exists between acceleration
and force; force
and mass?
4. How is the second law of motion applied to
everyday
occurrences?
LAW OF ACCELERATION

• 1. A huge stone is pushed with 30 N of force. If

there is only 5N of
• friction and the stone’s mass is 88 kg. What is the
acceleration of
• the table?
System Mass Acceleration Force

MKS Kg m/s² N=kg m/s²

CGS G Cm/s² Dyne=g.cm/s²

FPS slug Ft/s² Pounds (lbs) =slug.ft/s²

SOLUTION

• Force is 30 N
• Mass 88kg
• Acceleration?
• F=ma
• a=F/m
• = 30N/88kg
• 0.34 m/s²
SAMPLE PROBLEM

• 1. A 1000 kg truck is travelling at an

acceleration of 4.5 m/s², East. Find the force
the net force needed to accelerate the
truck.
SAMPLE PROBLEM NO 2

•A boy rolls at 200 g baseball

horizontally on the floor with a net
force of 2 N to the right. What is the
acceleration of the baseball?
