Newton's Second Law Notes
Newton's Second Law:
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Force= Newtons
Mass= Kilograms
Acceleration= m/s^2
* FALLING OBJECTS WITHOUT AIR RESISTANCE
-The elephant has more mass and more force from gravity.
-The mouse has less mass and less force from gravity
-Because of this the force of both objects is offsets by the object's mass.
-This causes acceleration of both objects to be the same.
-Both will hit the ground at the same time.
