(F=ma, Force=mass X acceleration)
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. This explains why some people can swim faster than others. For example, if two people have the same mass and pushed off a wall and did not take any strokes, the person who used the most force pushing off the wall goes farther. Acceleration in this case was greater for the person who produced the greater force because the masses were equal to each other. Take the same two people and have them race to the other side of the pool the person who wins the race would have to create more force the whole time in order to maintain the lead. Greater force produced by a person with smaller mass will have the largest acceleration.

How does force relate to newtons second law?
Newton's second law is represented by the equation F = ma, which indicates that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
What is the equation to represent the newtons second law?
F=ma Input: newtons second law at wolframalpha.com
As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.
Why is Newtons Second Law important to us?
its not importsnt
Why do you have to divide the two formulas in newtons second law of motion?
This is because two concepts are derived from the newtons second law. First : Force . F = m * a Second : momentum .. p = m * v
Which one of newtons laws does magneto illustrate?
the second law
Who invented newtons second law of motion?
The clue is in the question.
How does newtons law of motion relate action and reaction forces?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
How does the law of conservation of mass relate to newtons 3rd law?
It isn't closely related. Newton's Third Law is more closely related to conservation of MOMENTUM.
How is newtons first law concidered a concequence of newtons second law of motion?
Actually, the first one is completely independent on the second one. But the second one doesn't make any sense without the first one.
Does a sled use newtons second law?
Every single object that exists obeys ALL of Newtons Laws
How does the saying you get what you give relate to newtons third law?
i think its because you give something out and you get something back in return.
