Question

Explain briefly any three applications of Newton's second law of motion.

Answer 1

Newton’s second law is applied to identify the amount of force needed to make an object move or make it stop. Following are a few examples that we have listed to help you understand this point:

Kicking a ball

When we kick a ball, we exert force in a specific direction. The stronger the ball is kicked, the stronger the force we put on it and the further away it will travel.

Pushing a cart

It is easier to push an empty cart in a supermarket than a loaded one, and more mass requires more acceleration.

Two people walking

Among the two people walking, if one is heavier than the other, the one weighing heavier will walk slower because the acceleration of the person weighing lighter is greater.
