Newton's 2nd law has to do an enormous amount with gymnastics. The force needed to do certain things has to do a lot with your movements. Tumbling in gymnastics uses a lot of force. But the height of your tumbling has to do with the amount of force you use.
Example: If I'm doing a round-off back handspring back-tuck and i want it to be really high. Then i am going to need to put alot of force into the ground after my back-handspring so that i can get the height that i want.
The clue is in the question.
F = m a
yea
Mass
The link at the bottom will help you out, its a video
newtons second law of motion
(Mass) x (Acceleration)
Acceleration is proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass
His First Law and Second Law both do.
This is because two concepts are derived from the newtons second law. First : Force . F = m * a Second : momentum .. p = m * v
Isaac Newton, he discovered: -Newton's First Law of motion. -Newton's Second Law of motion. -Newton's Third Law of motion.
Force=mass*acceleration
