Newton's second law problems

This material helps 10th-grade students practice F = ma calculations, net force, and free-body diagrams through problem-solving and step-arrangement exercises. Students analyze scenarios like calculating net force, understanding how force changes affect acceleration, and organizing problem-solving steps.

Questions

  1. A 2 kg object accelerates at 3 m/s². What is the net force acting on it?
  2. Which of the following changes will increase the acceleration of an object, according to Newton’s second law?
  3. Complete the sentence with the correct value: If a net force of 10 N acts on a 5 kg object, its acceleration is ___ m/s².
  4. Arrange the steps in solving a Newton’s second law problem in the correct order.
  5. Select the correct value to complete the sentence: A 4 kg cart is pushed with a net force of 20 N, so its acceleration is ___ m/s².
