Newton's Second Law
_F = Force FBD: Fn=Up(North), Fg=Down(South), Fa=Right(East)
m = mass
a = acceleration
Fnet = ma
The force is a push or pull movement on an object. According to Newton, the object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced force. The acceleration depends on the net force and the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object increases, the acceleration increases. However if the mass of an object is increased the the acceleration will decrease. The acceleration is proportional to the net force. Acceleration is the same direction as the net force. Objects that are at equilibrium (forces at 0m/s) will not accelerate. If you push two different object with different masses, the lighter object will have a greater acceleration.
