  • This video explains the relationship between force, mass and acceleration as well as the link between them and Newton's Second Law for A Level Physics.
    You should remember most of this from GCSE Physics, but it's good to refresh your knowledge. F=ma is a special case of Newton's Second Law provided you have a constant mass and a uniform acceleration, and it used throughout this subject to calculate how objects change their motion when a net force is applied.
    Thanks for watching,

    I feel like all common sense, life experience and imagination has left me since I started physics and that all this stuff would usually be obvious if you just asked a child who was playing with blocks but hearing this being reexplained properly and straight to the point has made the idea seem more refreshing~

    Wait how does mass change i thought it stays the same and weight is the one that changes?

    What happens when there is no acceleration but there is a vertical force and you have to find the mass?

    Pardon me if this is a silly question but I would think that the acceleration of most objects is not constant. Doesn't that make the usefulness of this equation extremely limited?

    • @whosfredol5194

      You are indeed correct; I found many problems with lets persay two forces, two mass, or two acceleration.

    Hello sir i have a question,so if we’re plotting a graph for force and acceleration with a constant mass which one will be the x and y axis??Because based on my research i found both graph shown that Force -y axis and Acceleration-x axis and also graph that show Force as x axis and Acceleration as y axis.When i plot graph using both ways,they shows different gradient.So i am kind of confused which one is the right one. :(

  • @theinsfrijonds
    @theinsfrijonds 6 років тому +4

    Is the downward Arrow supposed to be gravity affecting the mass?
    Also how bizarre is it that acceleration is meters per second squared. What the hell is a second squared in reality
    Linear acceleration would be velocity 2 minus velocity one over the number of seconds in between.

    • @BangMaster96
      @BangMaster96 5 років тому

      Second squared is basically rise in a force each second, per second.
      So, force of gravity is about 9 meters per second squared,
      you go 9 meters per second, and each second, you increase the force by 9 meters.
      So in 3 seconds it would be, 9 meters in the first second, 18 meters in the next second, and 27 meters in the 3rd second.

    Mass doesn't change as it is a constant, inherent property of matter, weight is what decreases as a rocket moves away from earth

      Will Herondale Sporech when you are launching of to the space you lose fuel decresed mass then the boosters decresed mass and at the end the whole body of the rocket is lost and only the main module is left soo much less mass then before

    Imagine we have an objet,it could be absolutely anything ,And this object has a certain mass,and what we can do is we can maybe aply a force to this object,and ig you aply Force to an object, and theres a net force,the New object Will tent to get faster and it will accelerate and what we can say is that the acceleration is proportional to the size of the force,so bigger force will mean bigger acceleration.Also the acceleration is proportional to one over the mass what that means is if you have something wich is heavier and you aply the sane force to it its not going to accelerate as much as something wich is lighter and we can basically look at this 2 equations here and say that the acceleration is proportional to the force over the mass or we could also write this as force is proportional to mass times acceleration,we can measure our mass in kilograms,our acceleration in meters per second squared and our force in newtons

  • @SirjosephZ
    @SirjosephZ 8 років тому

    Any other examples of when you can't use F = ma as mass is changing. Also, for someone falling out of a plane, I'd imagine you can't use it either?

    • @PhysicsOnline
      @PhysicsOnline  8 років тому +3

      +Joseph Simeon F=ma only applies with a constant acceleration. When you have a parachutist experiencing drag their acceleration is not uniform so it can't be applied for their whole journey. Also as things approach the speed of light their mass increases so F=ma not applicable there.

    Wait what? The weight of a space shuttle would decrease as it leaves the atmosphere, but the mass would stay the same.

    • @PhysicsOnline
      @PhysicsOnline  7 років тому +1

      That's right!

    • @sporech9374
      @sporech9374 7 років тому

      You do lose fuel though, so I guess you do lose mass :)

    • @PhysicsOnline
      @PhysicsOnline  7 років тому +1

      The whole shuttle and launcher assembly would lose mass as it launches, so its mass would decrease. Once in space its weight would also decrease as its in a (very slightly) weaker gravitational field too.

    Unless you account for fuel (but I think you'd mention that in the video) you confuse mass with weight.
