2. The net force on an object and the acceleration of the object are directly proportional. They are directly proportional because, when the net force increases and decreases the acceleration also increases and decreases.

    Newton’s second law of physics dictates that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to put the object in an accelerated motion. This relationship can be viewed in the formula:…

    Force = mass x acceleration. So since when the first car was heavier it made the acceleration of the second car increase. With heavier mass makes a stronger force which then transfers into a greater acceleration. This shows that with greater mass makes greater force which then makes greater acceleration so that might be why when the mass of the first car was more we had a greater acceleration.…

    Newton’s second law (equation of motion): The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on the body, and inversely proportional to its mass. Thus, F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.…

    saac Newton was born on Dec. 25, 1642, in Woolsthorpe, England. His father died before he was born, and when he was only three his mother, Hannah Newton, remarried and moved away, leaving him to be raised by an uncle. He was sent to the local grammar school, and for a time it was expected that he would grow up to manage his mother's property. But he nonetheless persisted in the pursuit of his wider interests, and after leaving the grammar school he enrolled at Trinity College, at the University of Cambridge, in 1661. He received his bachelor of arts in 1665, and was named a fellow of the College two years later.…

    Newton’s First Law of Motion explains that objects in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in rest unless an external force is applied to it. Galileo’s concept of inertia is termed “Law of Inertia”. Law of Inertia, an object in motion will continue in the same motion unless acted by an outside force. Aircraft in flight is an example of First Law of Motion, four forces on an aircraft; lift, weight, thrust, and a drag. Consider the motion of an aircraft at constant altitude, we can neglect the lift and weight, a cruising aircraft at constant speed and the thrust balances the drag of the aircraft. This is the first part sited in Newton’s First Law; there is no net force on the airplane and it travels at a constant velocity in a straight line.…

    The newtons theroy of it should be trueDuring the first half of the 19th century, scientists such as John Herschel, Fox Talbot, and William Swan studied the spectra of different chemical elements in flames. Gradually, the idea that each element produces a set of characteristic emission lines was established. Each element has several prominent, and many lesser, emission lines in a characteristic pattern. Sodium, for example, has two prominent yellow lines (the so-called D lines) at 589.0 and 589.6 nm -- any sample that contains sodium (such as table salt) can be easily recognized using this pair of lines. One of the most dramatic triumphs of astrophysical spectroscopy during the 19th century was the discovery of helium. An emission line at 587.6 nm was first observed in the solar corona during the eclipse of August 18, 1868, although the precise wavelength was difficult to establish at the time (due to the short observation using temporary set-ups of instruments transported to Asia). Two months later, Norman Lockyer used a clever technique and managed to observe solar prominences without waiting for an eclipse. He noted the precise wavelength (587.6 nm) of this line, and saw that no known terrestrial elements had a line at this wavelength. He concluded that this must be a newly discovered element and called it 'helium'. Helium was discovered on Earth eventually (1895) and showed the same 587.6 nm line. Today, we know that helium is the second most abundant element in the Universe.…

    Isaac Newton was born on Christmas day in 1642, in Lincolnshire, England. Newton attended Trinity College in 1661 and had both his Bachelor of Arts and his Master of Arts by 1669. That same year he became the associate of the French Academy of Sciences. He was elected to Parilment, then appointed a warden, and finally, President of the Royal Society. Newton was a master of science and mathematics. He discovered calculus, before Leibniz' became popular. Perhaps Newton's most popular discovery, though, was gravity. As the story goes, Sir Isaac Newton was resting under a tree one day in his garden, when an apple fell from it and hit him on the head. Thus, he discovered gravity. The earth's gravitational pull pulls objects toward it. However, many people believe that this is only a myth created to simply illustrate Newton's discovery. <br><br>Along with Newton's many discoveries, the three laws of motion are famous. These include inertia, acceleration, and the idea that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Inertia is the idea that a body in motion will remain in motion, and a body at rest will remain at rest. For example, if I were to throw a baseball into the air, it would keep going until grasvity pulled it back down to earth. However, if I left it sitting on a table, it would lie there until some kind of force were to move it. If I were to push a skateboard across the floor with all of my might, the skateboard would accelerate more than if I gave it a light shove, simply because there was more force behind it. More force = more acceleration. If I were sitting on a swing and someone were to grab hold of the swing, pull it backwards, and release, I would move forward in the opposite direction. This demonstrates the idea that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite…
