Understanding the Relationship
* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In simpler terms:
* More force = more acceleration
* More mass = less acceleration
Applying the Concept
To have the least acceleration with a constant force (6.5 N), the object needs to have the greatest mass.
Example
Let's say you have these objects:
* A feather
* A bowling ball
* A car
The feather would have the least mass, so it would have the greatest acceleration when you push it with 6.5 N. The car would have the most mass, so it would have the least acceleration.
Key Takeaway
The object with the greatest mass will experience the least acceleration when pushed with a constant force.
