(F=ma, Force=mass X acceleration)

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. This explains why some people can swim faster than others. For example, if two people have the same mass and pushed off a wall and did not take any strokes, the person who used the most force pushing off the wall goes farther. Acceleration in this case was greater for the person who produced the greater force because the masses were equal to each other. Take the same two people and have them race to the other side of the pool the person who wins the race would have to create more force the whole time in order to maintain the lead. Greater force produced by a person with smaller mass will have the largest acceleration.
