Key terms explained
- Acceleration
- The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
- Force
- A push or pull on an object, equal to mass × acceleration (Newton's second law).
Frequently asked questions
Divide net force by mass: a = F ÷ m. 100 N on 20 kg gives 5 m/s².
Newton's second law, F = ma, rearranged to solve for acceleration.
Only the resultant of all forces causes acceleration, so opposing forces must be combined first.
Metres per second squared when force is in newtons and mass in kilograms.
