Force and Acceleration
Ask 3 volunteers from the students .
Give to the
first student: 1 drinking straw & 1
paper
second student: 2 drinking straws
and 1 paper
third student: 3 drinking straws &








1 paper
Let the students to blow their straws with
paper on top of it. Tell the students to
observe which of the three papers flew
first.

Whos paper flew first?

In the activity, drinking straws represents
the number of Force applied to the paper
which is our object. As you observed the
paper which is blown with the use of
three straws flew faster than the other two
papers. We can denote that the higher the
force the more faster an object will move
or shall we say that as the force applied to
the object increases the acceleration of an
object also increases. So therefore, we
can state that At constant mass, the
acceleration of an object is directly
proportional to the net force acting on it.
Mathematically it is expressed as:
a=kF
where:
a= acceleration
k= constant mass
F= force acting on an object

Mass and Acceleration
( Present two chairs)
Ask a student to push the first chair
then the second.

As you observe, which is more harder to
move? The first chair or the second
chair?
Why?

The relationship of Acceleration to Mass
at constant force is inversely,
proportional. When mass of the object
increases then its acceleration decreases
and if the mass decreases then
acceleration increases.

a= k(1/m)
where:
a= acceleration
k= force
m= mass
Combining this two relationship we
would be able to come up with this
relationship:
Acceleration is directly proportional to
the magnitude of the net force acting on it
and is inversely proportional to its mass.

with a force of 12 Newton (N). its
acceleration will be:

Free Fall and Newtons Second Law of
Motion
( present two books of different Mass)
If I drop this two books from here, which
of this two books from here, which of this
books from here, which of this books will
hit the ground first?

Who says A?
Who says B?

If we use the Law of Acceleration:
The heavier book will be the one to
reach the ground first because of gravity
the pulls it with a greater force.

If we use Law of Inertia:
The lighter one will be the first to
reach the ground because it has lesser
inertia.
Another Activity :
I will drop these books from here and
observe what will happen.
(Drop the two books)


























































What happens to the books?
Did the book reach the ground at the
same time or not?
What do you think happen why both of
the books reach the ground at the same
time?

Both of the books reach the ground at the
same time because of the gravity that acts
on its surface. This gravity which is the
same for all objects on Earth and is equal
to 9.8 m/s
2
causes the books to accelerate
and this acceleration is what we called
acceleration due to gravity (ag). This
means that when two objects are drop at
the same time from the same height these
objects will reach the ground at the same
time even if they differ in Mass.
Circular Motion and Newtons Second
Law of Motion
Can you still remember your lesson
about acceleration during your Grade 7?
During your Grade 7 lesson, you
learned that acceleration does not only
refer to change in speed but also change
in direction. Objects rotating or travelling
a circular path has circular motion. Just
like a carousel.








Another example is an object tied to a
string rotated horizontally.
(present a string with an object at the top
of it)
Another example is an object tied to a
string rotated horizontally
This object has rotates in a circular
motion and it continue to move or
accelerate. Newtons Second Law of
Motion , there is a net force acting in an
accelerating object. The force that makes
this object rotate or accelerate comes
from the string that pulls the object
towards the center of its circular path, if
this string is released or cute there will be
no more force to pull the object towards
the center so it will move straight and fly
off tangential to the path.

Generalization:
A s a summary of our lesson for today, Law of Acceleration is the Newtons Second Law
of Motion and it states that The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the
magnitude of the net force acting on it and is inversely proportional to its mass. To determine
the amount of acceleration of an object the formula a=F
net
/ m is used. Two objects drop at the
same time from the same height will reach the ground at the same time even if they differ in
mass and for an object to remain at its circular motion, there must be a net force to be applied.
C. Application (Question and Answer)
Teachers Activity Students Activity
1. What is the Second Law of
Motion?
2. Who can state the Law of
Acceleration?




3. What is the relationship
between Force and
Acceleration?
4. Who can describe the
relationship of Acceleration to
Mass?
5. What is the formula in finding
acceleration?
6. A ball with a mass of 0.6 kg is
move with a force of 24 N.
What is its acceleration?
Law of Acceleration

Law of Acceleration states that
Acceleration of an object is
directly proportional to the
magnitude of net force acting on
it and is inversely proportional
to its mass.
Directly Proportional; if the fore
increases then the acceleration
also increases.
Inversely Proportional; if the
mass increases, acceleration
decreases.

V. Evaluation
In a

sheet of paper answer the following problems:

1. A net force of 15 N is exerted on an encyclopedia with a mass of 3 kg. What is its
acceleration?
2. A 3.5 kg papaya is pushed across a table by a force of 7.7 N. What is its
acceleration?
Answer Key:
1. Given: F
net
= 15 N
m= 3 kg
Find:
a=?
Solution:
a= F
net
/ m
= 15 N / 3 kg
a=5 m/ s

2. Given: F
net
= 7.7 N
m= 3.5 kg
Find:

=7.7 N / 3.5 kg
a= 2.2 m/s
