There are 3 lessons in this physics tutorial covering Newton's Second Law of Motion. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Newton's Second Law of Motion and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of Newton's Second Law of Motion. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.

In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:

  • What is the relationship between force and acceleration in a motion?
  • What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in a motion?
  • What does the Newton's Second Law of Motion says?
  • What is the procedure used to study the motion of objects when forces acting on it are considered?
  • What advantages offers the use of a force diagram when dealing with Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Introduction

Suppose you are trying to make a heavy object move from rest. Is this action easy for you or not? Can you make this object accelerate as a steady rate for a long time? Why?

What about a heavy object when it is moving? Is it easy for you to stop it at instant? Explain.
