Newton stated that an object will change velocity if you push it or pull it - it accelerates in the direction you push it. If you push it twice as hard, it will accelerate twice as fast (acceleration is directly proportional to force). If the object has twice the mass, it will accelerate half as much (acceleration is inversely proportional to mass)

Steve- A hockey puck requires more force to accelerate than a tennis ball due to its greater mass, as described by the formula F = ma.
- A car's acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass - a heavier car will accelerate slower than a lighter car when the same force is applied.
- A rocket launches with a powerful force that propels it forward, demonstrating the law that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force applied to an object.

Which law is a summarized by the equation force mass x acceleration?
Newton's 2nd law of motion
What newtons 2nd law of motion?
newtons 2nd law states that if a force is put on an object then the object will move in the oppisite direction of the force no thats the third law
What are Newton 3 laws?
1st law: the law of Inertia states an object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2nd law: force, motion and acceleration are related. 3rd law: for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction
Why is the acceleration called the second law?
I have never seen it called that before. Perhaps whoever used this name meant that it is a law that applies in our real world - as opposed to any other law which you might make up, but which doesn't apply in our world.
Newton's first law of motion was?
Newton's first law of motion was the law of inertia. When an object is in motion, it stays in motion. When an object is in rest, it stays in rest.
