Newton Second Law of Motion

Newton’s Second Law of Motion: Force is the cause of acceleration. If you push a body harder, large acceleration is produced. If we denote the magnitude of Force by “F” and acceleration by “a”, then

F; alpha ; a

provided that forces are exerted on the same body that is mass is fixed. If you try to produce same acceleration in two objects of unequal masses, we need bigger force to accelerate the bigger object and smaller force to accelerate the lighter object. 

Then, F; alpha ; m

This law states that “the magnitude of the net force acting on a body is proportional to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration. The direction of the force is the same as that of the acceleration.”

                                                               F = kma  

  Here k  =  constant,  m   = mass ,  a = acceleration
