Newton's Second Law of Motion tells us that the force required to accelerate an object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration that is required (F=ma). We also know that acceleration is simply the rate of change of velocity (the change in velocity divided by the time taken for … Continue reading Momentum
Newton’s Third Law
Newton's Third Law is all about situations where two objects are interacting with each other. A common way of stating Newton's Third Law is to say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means different things in different situations. If the two objects are stationary, such as a person sitting … Continue reading Newton’s Third Law
