  • Newton's Second Law of Motion (F=ma): Explanation & Applications
    Newton's Second Law of Motion is expressed by the following equation:

    F = ma

    Where:

    * F is the net force acting on an object (measured in Newtons, N)

    * m is the mass of the object (measured in kilograms, kg)

    * a is the acceleration of the object (measured in meters per second squared, m/s²)

    This equation states that the net force acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration.

    In simpler terms:

    The harder you push or pull an object (force), the faster it will accelerate (change its speed and/or direction). And the heavier the object (mass), the slower it will accelerate for the same force applied.
