Newtons 2nd Law

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).

How do you calculate acceleration using Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Acceleration can be calculated by rearranging Newton's 2nd Law: a = F/m, where F is the force applied and m is the mass of the object.
