If you did not turn in the F=ma page, do it now. Link is in the previous post. If you did not watch those videos, please do so. There were too many blank faces on Monday. I'm hoping for some light bulbs. >>> ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN THE COMMENTS BELOW: In your own words and as succinctly as possible, what does "F=ma" mean?
A Question to Ponder: What does gravity have to do with F=ma? We will explore this question on Thursday, and will work on our MTcars when we get back to the big room at the church. Read your textbook Chapter 3.section 2, but only pages 75-78, Gravity.
and two more short Eureka videos, AFTER you read the textbook! >>>
Wow, I didn't understand "Professor Mac" at all.
ReplyDeletef=ma means force equals mass times acceleration. This means if you want to move something heavy you need more push/pull. from Laura
ReplyDeleteIn order for an object with mass to go somewhere and increase its speed, it needs an outside force (a push or a pull) to act upon it. Niles
ReplyDeleteF=ma means that in order to find the Force, you need to multiply the Mass x the Acceleration. I think that's how it goes. I haven't quite rapped my head around it yet.
ReplyDeletethe net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes with time. So the force would be equal to the mass multiplied by the the rate at which the velocity of an object changes with time.
