F=ma

The acceleration of an object depends on the force applied and mass of the object

F=MA

THE RATE OF CHANGE OF MOMENTUM IS PROPRATIONAL TO THE EXTERNAL FORCE ON BODY along to line of action

force create motion but force is vector quantity which has directional sense

pull and push are kind of direct active force whereas frictional is non conservative force in nature.

It can be summarised as force = mass x acceleration :)

Force to be equal to change in momentum (mass times velocity) per change in time. F = ma

Newton's second law can simply be remembered by the equation F=ma, where F=force, m=mass, and a=acceleration. The acceleration of an object is dependent on two variables the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object for example; when riding your bike your bicycle would be the mass and your legs pushing the pedals would be the force being applied. When this happens your bicycle starts moving which is acceleration.

Newtons 2nd law is a simple equation force = mass x acceleration. Take an engine for example , the force that the engine is providing is would be the mass of the car multiplied by how fast the car is accelerating

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the resultant (or net) force, in the same direction as the force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

The resultant force acting on a body produces acceleration in the direction of this force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the applied force, and inversely proportional to the mass of body.

Newton's second law states that the resultant force, F, is equal to the object's mass, m, multiplied by its acceleration, a. F=ma.

Dear Misty , Newton's second law of motion gives us the formula for force in first law we get the now it's time to formula. Here it is :


" The rate of change of linear momentum is directly proportional to the external force applied and the direction of change in momentum is in the direction of external force applied."
