Newton ’s second law of motion is an important topic in the NCERT Class 11 Physics Laws of Motion. This article provides a detailed conceptual explanation of Newton ’s Second Law of Motion and its application in problem-solving. Newton’s second law of motion , formulated by Sir Isaac Newton , describes the relationship between the acceleration of an object, the force applied to it, and its mass. According to this law , the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force exerted on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion . It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion . Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have ... Newton's second law states that the force applied to a body produces a proportional acceleration; the relationship between the two is F = ma where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the body, and a is the body's acceleration.
