pls explain newton's second law of motion in simple words
Answers
Answer:
Newton's second law of motion can be formally 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.
The Newton's second law states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied, and this change in momentum takes place in the direction of the applied force.
- F = d(mv)/dt
- The more massive an object, the more force it takes to change its velocity.
Example :- Imagine you're on a putting green with a golf club, a golf ball, and a bowling ball. Hitting the golf ball as hard as you can will send it flying because it doesn't have much mass, but hitting the bowling ball with the same swing will probably just damage your club.
