According to Newton's second law...
What does this mean?
However, the Second Law gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It can be expressed as a mathematical equation:
or FORCE = MASS times ACCELERATION This is an example of how Newton's Second Law works:
Mike's car, which weighs 1,000 kg, is out of gas. Mike is trying to push the car to a gas station, and he makes the car go 0.05 m/s/s. Using Newton's Second Law, you can compute how much force Mike is applying to the car.
Answer = 50 newtons This is easy, let's go on to Newton's Third Law of Motion
