Newton's Second Law
Newton's Second Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma). In simpler terms, this means that the more force you apply to an object, the faster it will move. Additionally, heavier objects require more force to achieve the same acceleration as lighter ones. This principle helps us understand how objects move and interact in our everyday lives, from driving a car to playing sports, emphasizing the relationship between force, mass, and speed.

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting on it and its mass. In simple terms, it means that if you push something, it will move faster depending on how hard you push and how heavy the object is. The law is usually expressed with the formula F = ma, where F represents force, m stands for mass, and a is acceleration. This principle helps us understand how different objects respond to forces, whether they are rolling a ball or moving a car.
