Newton's second law

What is Newton's second law of motion?

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects

• an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by unbalanced force.

• the acceleration of an object depends directly upon the resultant force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object.

If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car which one will have more acceleration and why? 

• The truck

• The car because it has less mass

• the car

• The truck because it has more mass

What's the formula for Newton's second law of motion (Force)?

• F = ma

• F = m - a

• F = a/m

• F = a + m 

Mike's car, which weighs 1,000 kg, is out of gas. Mike is trying to push the car to a gas station, and he makes the car go 0.05 m/s2. Using Newton's Second Law, you can compute how much force Mike is applying to the car

• 50N

• 100N

• 20N

• 5N
