Newton’s Second Law of Motion
The acceleration of a body, “a” is directly proportional to the net force acting upon it F, and inversely proportional to its Mass “m”.
Derivation
According To The Newton‘s Second law of motion when a force acts on an object it produces an acceleration which is directly proportion to the amount of the force,
So, F = ma
Where:
F = force [N]
M= mass [kg]
A = acceleration caused by F [mS-2]
- Force
Changes the size, shape, state of rest, velocity and/or direction of an object
Force is a vector quantity.
- Mass
The quantity of matter contained in a body is called mass.
Formula
F = ma
m = F/a
Unit:
The unit of mass in M.K.S system is Kilogram (kg)
I know that you guessed it and you are absolutely right – this happened in the last century. In those days there was a great shortage of books, and what one could get from the library or from girlfriends was read in one gulp. And then a new dose was needed. This can also be called a kind of addiction. We will talk about this “dependence” today. Why do people read?
