Dropping anything from a height above the surface of the earth. The FORCE of gravity acting on the MASS you drop produces an ACCELERATION.

A rocket launch. The FORCE of the rockets acts on the MASS of the rocket and produces and ACCELERATION. Of course, as the fuel burns, the total mass of the system decreases, so the acceleration itself increases.

Anything that is moving (cars, baseballs, bugs) has it's motion explained by the NET FORCE acting on a MASS.

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


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.


How do you convert kilograms to newtons?

Kilograms to Newtons, just multiply the Mass in kilograms by 9.81 and you will have your Newtons True on the surface of the earth, but nowhere else. These things are different, like a cat is not like a drop of water, So they are not inter-convertible. The gravitational force (in Newtons) on a mass (in kg) is its mass multiplied by the local value of the acceleration due to gravity.


What newtons law is formula f equals m x a?

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. This is represented by the formula F = m x a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.


What do newtons laws have to do with lacrosse?

Newtons laws have to do with lacrosse when (in guys lacrosse) you push the other player, which relates to newtons 2nd law, the larger the mass the harder the acceleration. Also, newtons 1st law involves throwing and catching a ball, newtons law says and object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. The object in motion is the ball and the outside force is the other person catching it, stopping the motion. Newtons third law relates to lacrosse when you make a shot and hit the post causing it to bounce off. The 3rd law states for every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction is the ball flying off the post.
