Law of acceleration
The Law of Acceleration, also known as Newton's Second Law of Motion, states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This law mathematically states that:
F = ma
Where:
- F is the net force acting on the object
- m is the mass of the object
- a is the acceleration produced by the force
This law explains how the motion of an object changes when a force is applied to it. It states that a larger force will result in a greater acceleration, while a larger mass will result in a smaller acceleration. In other words, the more force applied to an object, the faster it will accelerate, and the more mass an object has, the slower it will accelerate.
The Law of Acceleration, also known as Newton's Second Law of Motion, states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
F = m * a
Where:
F represents the net force acting on the object,
m represents the mass of the object, and
a represents the acceleration of the object.
This equation shows that if the force applied to an object increases, its acceleration will also increase. Conversely, if the mass of the object increases, its acceleration will decrease for a given force.
In simple terms, the law states that the greater the force applied to an object, the faster it will accelerate, and the heavier the object, the slower it will accelerate for a given force.
