The diagrams below show illustrations in which arrows are used to represent forces (F) acting on objects. Study each diagram then answer the questions Diagram 1 50 N 10kg 50 N B 5kg 1 a. What factors are different in diagram A and B? b. Which object will have greater acceleration? c. Why? Diagram 2 50 N B 10kg 50 N 2kg 2. a. What factor is different in diagram A and B? b. What factor is the same? c. Which object will have greater acceleration? d. Why? B 20 N A 50 N Diagram 3 5kg 5kg 3. a. How do diagrams A and B compare? b. Which object will have greater acceleration? c. Why?1 In which diagrams are forces not equal?
a. 1 What is the net force in A? a.2What is the net force in B?
b. What will happen to the object in each
diagram?
b.1Object A will
Why?
b.2 Object B will
Why?
Guide Question:
1. What makes the object accelerate?
2.How does mass affect the acceleration of an object?
