Proportional Reasoning With a=F/m Video Tutorial
The Proportional Reasoning With a=F/m Video Tutorial explains how to use the directly proportional and inversely proportional relationships of Newton's second law to predict an acceleration value. Care is taken to describe how a change in one variable (net force or mass) will affect the acceleration. Several examples are given and explained. The video includes Your Turn to Practice opportunities with answers and explanations. The video lesson answers the following questions:
- What effect does doubling, tripling, halving, etc. the net force experienced by an object have upon the acceleration?
- What effect does doubling, tripling, halving, etc. the mass of an object have upon the acceleration?
