Physics - Forces and Acceleration

Physics - Forces and Acceleration

1. A non-zero resultant force produced an acceleraation

   • Any resultant force will produce an acceleration, and this is the formula:
     • F = ma or a = F/m
     • m = Mass (Kg)
     • a = Acceleration (m/s²)
     • F = resultant force (N)

2. Reaction forces are equal and opposite

   • When two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite
   • That means if you push something it will push back against you just as hard
   • As soon as you stop pushing so does the thing you are pushing
   • If the forces are always equal - The two forces are acting on different objects
