Exploring Newton's Second Law

The video introduces the concept of forces, explaining how they cause changes in motion or shape due to interactions between objects. It covers the idea of net force and equilibrium, using examples like pressing on a box. Newton's Second Law is discussed, highlighting the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The video also explains the units of force, introducing the Newton as a unit of measurement.

What is a force?

• A unit of distance

• A type of energy
