Newton's Second Law

📖
Definition The acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting on it and its mass.

🧒 In Simple Words

Newton's Second Law says bigger pushes make more change in motion, but more mass makes acceleration harder.

📌 Example

A lighter cart speeds up more than a heavier cart when both are pushed with the same force.

âœī¸ Use It in a Sentence
