Newton's second law could be stated as

F = ma

If a force acts on an object then it will accelerate. The higher the mass then the lower the acceleration for any given force. Force is proportional to acceleration if mass is kept constant.

We use Newton's second law without thinking about it. When we bowl a cricket ball / pitch a Baseball, kick a football, put our foot on the accelerator increases the force on our car. The more effort (force), the more you get out of it (acceleration) - sounds like a lesson in life.

What is the newtons 3 low of motion?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.


In tug of war you pull on a rope with 3 newtons and your friend on your side pulls on the rope with 8 newtons What is the force the other team will have to overcome to win?

The force the other team will have to overcome to win is the sum of the forces exerted by you and your friend, which is 3 newtons + 8 newtons = 11 newtons. So, the other team will have to exert a force greater than 11 newtons to win the tug of war.


What were the names of Isaac Newton's three laws of motion?

Newton's First Law of Motion is referred to as the Law of Inertia. It states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. The Second Law of Motion is the definition of Force : Force=mass x acceleration. The Third Law of Motion is the Law of Reciprocity. It states that forces come in equal and opposite pairs. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"


The vector sum of 3 newtons and 4 newtons?

It depends on the angle between the two forces. It can be anything from 1 newton (if they're acting in exactly opposite directions) to 7 newtons (if they're acting in exactly the same direction).

What 3 quantities are related in newtons second law of motion?

The three quantities related in Newton's second law of motion are force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a). The law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, the relationship is expressed as F = ma.


How much force is needed to accelerate a 1000 kilogram car at a ate of 3 meters per second per second?

The force needed can be calculated using Newton's second law, F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass of the car (1000 kg), and a is the acceleration (3 m/s^2). Therefore, the force needed would be 3000 Newtons.


What is the force in newtons needed to move a 1500 kg vehicle at an acceleration of 3 m?

The force required to move a 1500 kg vehicle with an acceleration of 3 m/s^2 can be calculated using Newton's second law, which states force equals mass times acceleration. Therefore, the force required would be 4500 Newtons (1500 kg * 3 m/s^2 = 4500 N).

What is a force vector of -3 Newtons?

A force vector of -3 Newtons indicates that the force is acting in the opposite direction of the positive direction, with a magnitude of 3 Newtons.


What is the velocity of an object accelerating at 3 meter per second per second with a force of 12N?

We can only give the mass of the object. Newton's second law of motion will show that Force = mass x acceleration. therefore 12 Newtons = 4 kilogrammes x 3 m/s2 To calculate final velocity you will need to specify the time, the acceleration (and the initial velocity).


What is 3 kilogram in newton's?

On earth, 3 kg weighs 29.4 newtons. On the moon, the same 3 kg weighs 4.8 newtons. On the way there and back, the same 3 kg weighs zero newtons.


Force mass multiplied by acceleration .....how much force is needed to accelerate a 1000-kg car at a rate of 3 meters per second squared?

The force needed can be calculated using the formula: Force = mass x acceleration. Plugging in the values, Force = 1000 kg x 3 m/s^2 = 3000 N. Therefore, 3000 Newtons of force is needed to accelerate a 1000-kg car at a rate of 3 meters per second squared.
