Newton's second law of motion (4-2)

Question 1 of 3

Question

The magnitude of acceleration that the net external force causes depends on the mass $m$ of the object (the quantity of material in the object). The greater the mass, the smaller the acceleration.

Review

One of these relationships, commonly known as $\textbf{Newton’s second law}$ , is the most important for our discussion of forces. It states that
If a net external force acts on an object, the object accelerates. The net external force is equal to the product of the object’s mass and the object’s acceleration.
