NEWTONS SECOND LAW OF MOTION

LAW OF ACCELERATION

Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration produced by a net force on an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, is in the same direction as the net force, and is inversly proportional to the mass of an object.

The actual law stated by Newton himself is:
 * The change of momentum of a body is proportional to the impulse impressed on the body, and happens along the straight line on which that impulse is impressed.**

This law gives us a way to look at acceleration and to find the acceleration of an object in motion

so basically things to know about Newtons second law are 1. Force causes acceleration 2. Mass resists accelerationthese two will give you the basic idea of Newtons second law.

The equation put into the form of an equation is math F=ma math where math a=v/t math

ACCELERATION: The acceleration of an object depends directly on the netforce on the object

The direction of the acceleration is in the same direction as the net force
