"The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied."
In his second law of motion, Newton exhibits the common relationship between mass, force applied, and acceleration. He proved that an object's rate of change relies on the size of the force on an object and the object's mass. For example, a heavy object with a large mass will accelerate slower when less force is applied to it. More force must be applied to a larger mass in order for it to accelerate, and on the contrary, a smaller mass will require less force to accelerate. A general rule that is used explains that acceleration increases as mass decreases, and acceleration decreases as mass increases. Similarly, acceleration increases as force on an object increases, and it decreases as the force decreases.
The formula used to to determine force, according to the second law of motion, is F=M x A. This means that the object's mass is multiplied by the rate of change in velocity to find the amount of force. Alongside that, acceleration can be calculating using the formula A=F/M, or acceleration equals force divided by mass.
A real life example of Newtons second law is a full shopping cart versus an empty shopping cart. In his law, Newton says that if two objects are pushed with the same force, the object with the greater mass will have a slower acceleration than the object with the less mass. The law describes that the less mass an object has, the greater the acceleration. This can be related to the shopping carts. If a person pushes two carts, one empty and one full of groceries, with the same force, the empty cart will travel farther and accelerate more compared to the full cart. This can be used as a real life example of Newton's second law of motion.
