Newton's Second Law

The video tutorial explains Newton's Second Law of motion, focusing on the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It uses examples like a thrown ball and a ball with elastic to illustrate unbalanced forces. The tutorial also covers practical calculations involving spacecraft and cars, emphasizing the importance of units. It concludes by comparing the acceleration of a tennis ball and a shotput, highlighting the effect of mass on acceleration.

How would you calculate the resultant force on a spacecraft with a given mass and acceleration?

Why can you throw a tennis ball faster than a shotput, despite applying the same force?
