Sample AMS Questions- Exam 1617-FM31 (Chapter3 Section1-

Newtons Law of Motion)
The following are responses from the readings, labs, questions reviewed in class and
tutoring.

1. State Newtons second law of motion.

Acceleration of an object to its mass and the unbalanced force acting on it
2. Two objects of different masses, where object A has a larger mass than object
B, are acted upon by equal net forces. Which object will have a larger
acceleration?
B-smaller mass will go faster (larger acceleration)/larger mass has smaller.
m m
3. An object, of constant mass, is acted upon buy a net unbalanced force. How
does the acceleration of the object vary as the force is increased or
decreased?
More force increases acceleration.
4. What is the equivalent unit of kg m/s ?
N or Newtons
5. What is the mathematical description of Newtons second law of motion?
F= m x a
6. A student pulls a box of mass 1kg. What is the magnitude of the met force
needed to move the box with an acceleration of 2m/s ?
F=mxa so F= 1kg x 2m/s = 2N

7. A student pulls a box of mass 1kg. What is the acceleration of the box if the
net force applied by the student is 2N?
2N = 1kg x a so a= 2m/s
8. A student pulls a box across the classroom. If the acceleration is 2m/s and the net
force acting on the box is 40N, what is the boxs mass?

40N= m x 2m/s so m=20kg

9. What is the acceleration of a freely falling object?
9.8 m/s
10.How is the force of gravity acting on an object related to its mass?
The force of gravity is the equal on all objects.
