12 mar 2024 · Newton’s second law of motion gives a relationship among acceleration, force, and mass. It can help us make predictions. Each of those physical quantities can be defined independently, so the second law tells us something basic and universal about nature. The next section introduces the third and final law of motion.

Learn how force, mass and acceleration are related by the equation F = ma. Watch a video, see examples and practice questions on this physics concept.
27 wrz 2017 · Newton’s Second Law of Motion states, “The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration.”
Newton's second law describes the affect of net force and mass upon the acceleration of an object. Often expressed as the equation a = Fnet/m (or rearranged to Fnet=m*a), the equation is probably the most important equation in all of Mechanics.
Learn how mass affects the force needed to change the motion of an object. Watch a video example with different asteroids and rockets in space.
Newton’s second law says that the acceleration and net external force are directly proportional, and there is an inversely proportional relationship between acceleration and mass. For example, a large force on a tiny object gives it a huge acceleration, but a small force on a huge object gives it very little acceleration.
When a net force acts on an object the object's motion will change in the direction of this net force. The larger the force is that acts on an object, the larger the change in motion. However, the...
