What is an example that demonstrates Newton's second law?

HEYA ❤️.
There are a lot of examples of Newton’s Second Law of Motion.
Newton’s Second Law states that if the forces acting on a body is balanced (or cancel each other out) then the body won’t accelerate in any direction. If the forces are unbalanced, the object will accelerate at a rate that’s equal to the force applied (or resultant force) divided by the object’s mass.
An example of when the forces are balanced can be performed by you by simply standing up. The force of gravity is pulling you down to the ground but the ground resists, causing it to create a reaction force in the opposite direction to balance the forces. This causes you to stay standing still and not sink into the ground or float away.
Another example when the forces are balanced is during skydiving when you’ve hit terminal velocity. This is where you won’t get any faster (and therefore travel at a constant velocity therefore not accelerating) and is caused when the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance (or drag).
