Newton’s Second Law Problems
Use Newton’s Second Law to solve the following problems. Be sure to show the (GU)ESS method.
1. Find the force if the mass is 6 kg and the acceleration is 12 m/s/s.
2. Find the mass if the force is 18 N and the acceleration is 2 m/s/s.
3. Find the acceleration if the force is 10 N and the mass is 5000
g
.
4. A 3000 kg plane has an acceleration of 12 m/s/s on take off. What net force is exerted on the
plane?
5. What is the acceleration of an object with a 4500 g mass when there is a net force of 18 N on it?
