The Law of Force

The Law of Force, often associated with Newton's Second Law of Motion, states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration (F = ma). In simpler terms, this means that the more force you apply to an object, the faster it will move. Similarly, heavier objects require more force to achieve the same acceleration as lighter ones. This principle helps us understand how objects respond to pushes or pulls, which is fundamental in physics and engineering applications, from vehicles in motion to everyday activities like throwing a ball.
