1
Q

What are Newton’s Laws of motion?

A

Newton’s Laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it.

Q

What does the second law state?

A

The force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.

Formula: F = m × a

Q

How do you calculate force using Newton’s second law?

A

Force is calculated using the formula: F = mass × acceleration.

Example: If mass (m) = 2 Kg and acceleration (a) = 5 m/s², then F = 2 × 5 = 10 N.

Q

What is an example calculation using the second law?

A

If mass (m) = 50 Kg and acceleration (a) = 2 m/s², then F = 50 × 2 = 100 N.
