1] A(m) = Fnet
2] In agreement, the acceleration of both objects are the same; the mass does not affect the velocity of the object.
3] In disagreement, the bricks should fall at the same rate and no matter how many bricks there are, the force of the earth on the object is still the same no matter what object.

Hi Nel, make sure you are careful using language, velocity is NOT the same as acceleration!
ReplyDeleteYou need to continue this journal entry in order to demonstrate your achievement of the lesson's learning goals. Make a NEW POST on your blog with the same title and address the comments below. You must post your response within 24 hours.
Take a second look at your work, and look again at the video that I showed you in class.

1. Explain what part of your original work made me think that you did NOT show understanding of Newton's second law: acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force exerted on the object by other objects, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
2. Answer the original questions carefully now that you understand the lesson.
3. What activity, experiment, or lesson helped you to understand this lesson better?
