Newton- Second Law of Physics
What is it?
Newton's Second Law of Physics establishes a relationship between the force applied to an object and the resulting acceleration of the object. Here's the equation:
F=MA
This law states that force (F) acting on an object produces an acceleration (A) in the direction of the force which is inversely proportional to (opposite of) the amount of mass of the object. In other words, force equals mass times acceleration.
Give me an example!
If you were to push an elephant and a mouse with the same amount of force, which would move faster? The mouse, which has less mass, would certainly move faster, or accelerate more.
