📚 Quick Study Guide

    🔍 Newton's Second Law: Describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. 🍎 Formula: The formula is expressed as $F = ma$, where:
    • $F$ represents the net force acting on the object (measured in Newtons, N).
    • $m$ represents the mass of the object (measured in kilograms, kg).
    • $a$ represents the acceleration of the object (measured in meters per second squared, m/s²).
    💡 Key Points:
    • Force and acceleration are vectors, meaning they have both magnitude and direction.
    • The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
    • If the net force is zero, the acceleration is zero (the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity).
    📐 Units: Remember to use consistent units (SI units are preferred) to get accurate results. ✍️ Applications: Newton's Second Law is used to analyze the motion of objects in various situations, from simple projectile motion to complex systems involving multiple forces.
