the second law of Newton can be stated as follows-The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object

The second law of motion states that 'acceleration is produced when an unbalanced force acts on an object (mass). The more mass the object has the more net force has to be used to move it.' Examples of Newton’s 2nd Law 1. If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more...

The second law of motion states that 'acceleration is produced when an unbalanced force acts on an object (mass). The more mass the object has the more net force has to be used to move it.' Examples of Newton’s 2nd Law 1. If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more acceleration than the truck, because the car has less mass. 2. It is easier to push an empty shopping cart than a full one, because the full shopping cart has more mass than the empty one. This means that more force is required to push the full shopping cart. read less

acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to magnitude of force and inversely proportional to its mass of the object. During my class i can explain u in detail.

Have been working for 6 years by now.

Force being experienced by a body is directly proportional to the acceleration of that body. acceleration means motion ( say velocity). No motion means no force. So F = ma. where m is the mass of that body.

Newton's second law states that a body will never accelerate if NET force on the body is zero. If it is at rest it will remain at rest and if moving it will keep moving with constant VELOCITY.

rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied d(P)/dt∝ F (force applied)

It states that the forced applied on a body is directly proportional to mass of the body on which the force is being applied ,where a is proportional variable known as accelaration.

It states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of the force. i.e F = ma .
