describe newtons second law of motion provide an examples to support your explanation keep it short pls :) @Jhannybean

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

What do you know of Newton's laws of motion? Tell me :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

It's easy to state them, but you tell me what they are and i'll provide you with an example :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 2nd Newton's law of motion, states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applies to it in a given direction., the reason why the formula is given by: F= m(v-u)/t.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

It's a little simpler than that, no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting upon the object

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know what Josh? That (v-u)/t is actually a (acceleration), so your F=ma.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So if its dealing with acceleration, it's an acceleration depending on the mass of the object with a certain force that is applied to make it accelerate, thus \(\vec F = m\cdot \vec a\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat is the example

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

|dw:1416868730855:dw|

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

You are trying to move a certain object of a certain mass across the floor by applying a certain amount of force to accelerate it.
