Imagine you are standing below a taaaaaaall building. Now imagine someone has thrown down an elephant and a bag of salt at different heights. The bag of salt was tossed out at the tallest point on the building. The elephant was tossed out only 1 foot from the ground. The elephant has a mass of about 2 tons (4000pounds). The bag of salt has a mass of about 1 kilogram. The elephant has an acceleration (lets say) 1 meter per second squared. The penny has (once its at the bottom) has an acceleration of (lets say) 2000 meters per second squared. The elephant will have a force of about 1800 Newtons. The bag of salt will have a force of about 2000 Newtons. The bag of salt actually has more force than the elephant because it has a higher acceleration. Newton's 2nd law depends on the combination of mass and acceleration.

What newtons 2nd law of motion?
newtons 2nd law states that if a force is put on an object then the object will move in the oppisite direction of the force no thats the third law
What are not examples of newtons third law?
A birthday cake.
As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.
Which of Newtons laws states that for every force there is an equal force in the opposite direction?
That's Newton's third law of motion. A link can be found below.
What are the practical applications of newtons second law of motion?
Almost all machinery uses the 2nd Law. Also sports activity and firearms use the 2nd law. The 2nd Law runs the Universe, from the motions of tools to the motions of the galaxies.
