Isaac Newton’s Second Law of Motion   

These boys are racing around the track at Newton’s Skate Park.
The boy who can increase his speed the most will win the race.
Tony, who is closest to the camera in this picture, is bigger and
stronger than the other two boys, so he can apply greater force
to his skates.

Q: Does this mean that Tony will win the race?

A: Not necessarily, because force isn’t the only factor that

affects acceleration.

Force, Mass, and Acceleration

Whenever an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction, it accelerates. Acceleration
occurs whenever an unbalanced force acts on an object. Two factors affect the acceleration of an
object: the net force acting on the object and the object’s mass. Newton’s second law of motion
describes how force and mass affect acceleration. ​The law states that the acceleration of an object
equals the net force acting on the object divided by the object’s mass. This can be represented by
the equation:

Acceleration = N et f orce/M ass

or a = F /m

Q: While Tony races along on his rollerblades, what net force is acting on the skates?

A: Tony exerts a backward force against the ground, as you can see in the Figure below, first with
one skate and then with the other. This force pushes him forward. Although friction partly counters
the forward motion of the skates, it is weaker than the force Tony exerts. Therefore, there is a net
forward force on the skates.

Direct and Inverse Relationships

Newton’s second law shows that there is a direct relationship between force and acceleration. The
greater the force that is applied to an object of a given mass, the more the object will accelerate.
For example, doubling the force on the object doubles its acceleration.

The relationship between mass and acceleration is different. It is an inverse relationship. In an

inverse relationship, when one variable increases, the other variable decreases. The greater the
 mass of an object, the less it will accelerate when a given force is applied. For example, doubling
the mass of an object results in only half as much acceleration for the same amount of force.

Q: Tony has greater mass than the other two boys he is racing (pictured in the opening image).
How will this affect his acceleration around the track?

A: Tony’s greater mass will result in less acceleration for the same amount of force.

Key Points!

● Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object equals the net
force acting on the object divided by the object’s mass.
● According to the second law, there is a direct relationship between force and
acceleration and an inverse relationship between mass and acceleration.
