Introduction to Newton’s Second Law of Motion with Example Problem
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that net force equals mass times acceleration, where both force and acceleration are vectors.
- 2
When using Newton's Second Law, you need to identify the direction in which you are summing the forces.
- 3
A free body diagram shows the directions of forces, and Newton's Second Law helps to figure out the magnitudes of the forces and the acceleration of an object.
