and vertical motion
of a projectile
Newton’s Second Law of
Motion
THE LAW OF ACCELERATION

Force = mass x acceleration

 State the Second Law of Motion by
completing this paragraph.

The Law of Acceleration

The acceleration of an object as
produced by a net force is
(directly/inversely) proportional to the
magnitude of the net force, in the
(same/opposite) direction as the net force,
and (directly/inversely) proportional to the
(mass/weight) of the object.
The larger the force applied on an
object, the larger its acceleration.
Uniformly Accelerated Motion
Acceleration is the rate of change
of velocity. Usually, acceleration
means the speed is changing, but
not always.
Speedometer, instrument
that indicates the speed of a
vehicle, usually combined
with a device known as an
odometer that records the
distance traveled.
UNIFORM ACCELERATION
 It is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object
changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.
GRAVI
TY
Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body
draws objects toward its center.
Objects at free-fall also
exhibits uniformly
accelerated motion.
The acceleration due to
gravity is 9.8m/s²
neglecting air
resistance.
It is a constant
acceleration for all
falling bodies,
regardless of their
mass and weight.

consists of horizontal

working
independently.
