Q

What is newton’s second law?

A

An object will accelerate if there is a resultant force acting upon it

The acceleration of the object is:
Proportional to the resultant force acting on it
Inversely proportional to its mass

F=ma
F=resultant force
Mass=kg, inertial mass

Q

What is newton’s third law?

A

When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal and opposite force on the first. Both forces must be of the SAME TYPE
