Directions: Answer the following briefly on your answer sheet. 1. State the Law of Acceleration. 2. Cite at least two (2) examples of the application of Law of Acceleration.
A. Every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.
B. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the object's mass.
C. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
2. Examples of Application of Law of Acceleration:
A. Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. When you push on the pedals, your bicycle accelerates. You are increasing the speed of the bicycle by applying force to the pedals.
B. Pushing an empty shopping cart is easier than pushing a loaded shopping cart. This is because of the relation between the mass of the object, the force applied to it, and the acceleration produced. Since mass has an inverse relationship with acceleration, the loaded cart tends to move at a slower pace than the empty cart.
