Newton’s Second Law of Motion

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW The acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force applied to the object.

The more force that is applied, the more the object will accelerate. NEWTON’S SECOND LAW The more force that is applied, the more the object will accelerate.

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. NEWTON’S SECOND LAW The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Net force of zero will equal an acceleration of zero. NEWTON’S SECOND LAW Net force of zero will equal an acceleration of zero. The object may still be moving, it will not be changing speed or direction.

The more mass (inertia) an object has, the harder it is to accelerate. NEWTON’S SECOND LAW The more mass (inertia) an object has, the harder it is to accelerate. The less mass an object has, the easier it is to accelerate.

When one object exerts a force on a second object, the NEWTON’S THIRD LAW When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object

and opposite reaction” NEWTON’S THIRD LAW “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”
