How It Works
Newton's Second Law
Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma). This describes how objects accelerate when forces act upon them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Newton's Second Law?
F = ma states that force equals mass times acceleration. One of the fundamental laws of physics.
What is a Newton?
A Newton (N) is the SI unit of force. 1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s². It's the force needed to accelerate 1 kg at 1 m/s².
How to calculate weight?
Weight = mass × gravity (9.8 m/s² on Earth). For example, 10 kg = 98 N weight.
