= 2 m/s2
Question 1
What is the formula used to
calculate mass when you know
the Force on an object and the
resulting acceleration?

barbell at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 with
an applied force 400N. What is
the mass of the barbell?

 = 80 kg
Question 3
What is the relationship between
mass and inertia??
 As the mass increases the
inertia of an object increases
and a greater force will be
required to accelerate the
object.
Question 1
What is the formula used to
calculate the weight of an object
on Earth?
 weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.
 Gravitational acceleration on earth = 9.8 m/s2
Question 2
What is the difference between
mass and weight?
 Mass is a measure of how much
matter an object contains.
 Weight is a measure of the force
of gravity acting on that mass.
Question 3

gold sitting on your desk.
 weight = mass x ag
 ag =9.8 m/s2
 W = 10 kg x 9.8 m/s2 = 98 N

According to the equation why does
our sun have a gravitational force
strong enough to hold all the
planets in orbit even though some
are very far away.
 The sun has a very large mass
so its gravitational force is large
and far reaching.
Question 1
What is the term used to describe an
object where the only force acting
on the object is gravity ?
 Free Fall
Question 2
This is the maximum velocity a falling
object will reach as the upward force
of air resistance equals the downward
force of gravity?
 Terminal velocity
Question 3
If an object at terminal velocity is
experiencing balanced forces, how can
the object still be falling?
 Balanced forces only mean that
the object is not
ACCELERATING, it still falls @
a constant velocity.
