Law of Acceleration

Isaac Newton's second rule of motion says that the force

exerted by a moving object is equal to its mass times its
acceleration in the direction from which it is pushed, expressed as
the formula F=ma. Because force is related to mass and
acceleration, doubling either mass or acceleration while holding
the other constant would twice the force of impact; the force of
impact doubles when an item of constant weight is subjected to
increasing acceleration.

Force equal mass times acceleration

F = ma

Acceleration: a measurement of how quickly an object is

changing speed

Law of Acceleration
 An unbalanced force causes something to accelerate.
 A force can cause motion only if it is met with an unbalanced
force.
 Forces can be balanced or unbalanced depends on the net
force acting on the object
 Net force (Fnet): The sum total and direction of all forces
acting on the object.
 Net forces: Always cause acceleration.

What does F = ma means?

 F = ma basically means that the force of an object comes from

its mass and its acceleration.
 Force is measured in Newtons (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration
(m/s2) Or kg m/s2
