This law says, force equals mass times acceleration. This law deals with mass, acceleration and net force. The acceleration is the same direction as the net force of an object. The formula is F=ma, which means force=mass times acceleration or F(net)=ma. For example, when you drop a bowling ball and a volleyball they both hit the ground at the same time. The 2nd law said that the force is equal to its acceleration and mass so that the masses don't always matter because there are other forces on the objects. Another example is a softball and a baseball, the baseball has a higher acceleration and has less mass than the softball. So if you throw the baseball it would go farther and a lot faster than the softball. | |
