Force and AccelerationBy Jeremy Massari, Jordan Young, Taylor

ForceForce is the amount of energy that is applied

to an object to make the object move or allows it to act.

Force is calculated by F=ML/ T2

AccelerationAcceleration is the change in the velocity of

an object when a greater force is added to the object in a positive manner

When a ball is rolling on the floor with no force behind it the ball is deccelerating, but when a force is applied to the ball in the same direction that the ball is traveling the ball will accelerate.

AccelerationThe greater the force the faster the

acceleration of the object, likewise the lesser the force the slower the object will accelerate.

Accceleration can be calculated using the formula

A=change in velocity/ time interval.

Mass resistsThere are many factors that effect the

acceleration of an object one the biggest factors is the weight of the object.

The greater the mass of the object the slower the acceleration of the object will be.

The opposite is also true the lighter the object the faster the acceleration will be.

Mass resistsIf a force is applied to an object it will

accelerate at a constant rate, however if the same force is applied but the mass of the object is twice a much then the object will accelerate at half the original speed.

StaticStatic is where to forces working against

each other equal a net of zero.If you set a block on the ground the force of

the block pushing down and the force of the ground pushing up cancel each other out and the net force of both is zero.

frictionThere are more forces at work than just

pushing or pulling an object another force is friction.

Friction works against forces to keep theobject from moving.

Everything that has friction even if it is ot moving or being worked on by a force.

pressurePressure is the amount of force applied to a

specific area. The greater the force applied to the same

area the greater the pressure.The smaller the area that the force is applied

to for the same force the greater the pressure.

Pressure is measured in newtons per square meter called a pascal.
