I have never seen it called that before. Perhaps whoever used this name meant that it is a law that applies in our real world - as opposed to any other law which you might make up, but which doesn't apply in our world.

Newtons's second law of motion is considered as a real law of motion because from this law of motion both first law of motion and third law of motion can be derived

Newton's 2nd law is about acceleration, f=ma when acceleration is not equal to zero. The first and third Law's are about no-acceleration, f=ma when a=0.

How can nawtons first law be derived from newtons second law?

The Second Law is Force = Mass times Acceleration. The First Law can be derived from the Second Law by setting the Focre to zero or the Acceleration to zero;. No force = no acceleration; or No acceleration = no force.


What name of the second law?

The law of acceleration.


Which law if motion says force is equal to mass times acceleration?

The second law of motion states that acceleration is directly proportional to the force, and inversely proportional to the mass. a = F/m.

The calculation of mass x acceleration applies to which of newtons law of motion?

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the net external force acting on the system, and inversely proportional to its mass.so the answer is Newton's second law of motion. gimme a good raction plz

Why is the first lawsometimes called just a special of the second law?

The First Law is sometimes called just a special case of teh 2nd law, where F=0. This is the case of Equilibrium and inertia, no Force, no acceleration.


How are force mass and acceleration are related by newtons second law of motion?
