Description
A detailed tutorial on the solving of Newtons 2nd Law of Motion: F=ma. This video gives several detailed examples of how to use Newton’s 2nd law.
Overview
Newton’s second law states that force applied to a body produces a porportional acceleration expressed by the formula
where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the body, and a is the body’s acceleration. If the body is subject to multiple forces at the same time, then the acceleration is proportional to the vector sum (the net force):
