Newton's second law of motion

Newton’s second law of motion 

Newton’s second law of motion deals with the behaviour of objects on which all existing forces are not balanced.

According to this law,  the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the external force applied on it and the change in momentum takes place in the direction of the force.





The force acting on a body is measured by the product of mass of the body and acceleration produced by the force acting on the body.

The second law of motion gives us a measure of the force.

The acceleration produced in the body depends upon the inertia of the body (i.e) greater the inertia, lesser the acceleration.
