How do I analyse an object subjected to a constant net force?
In this post, we investigate, describe and analyse the acceleration of a single object subjected to a constant net force and relate the motion of the object to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, as a part of the Prelim Physics course under the module Dynamics and sub-part Forces, Acceleration and Energy. To analyse an object subjected to a constant net force, we use qualitative descriptions, graphs, and vectors and derive relationships from graphical representations including \vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} and relationships of uniformly accelerated motion.
