What are some examples of newtons second laws?

Answer 1

• A moving car will slow down and eventually stop unless the engine continues to provide force to accelerate it.
• A car will remain at rest until it exerts a force upon the Earth greater than the car's weight.
• A parachutist at terminal velocity will not accelerate up or down, only remain at constant velocity.
• A rock moving through space will travel perfectly straight unles acted on by gravity (which is certain, of course).

Answer 2

Some examples of Newton's second law in action include:

1. Pushing a heavier box requires more force to accelerate it compared to a lighter box.
2. A car needs a greater force to accelerate from rest than to maintain a constant speed.
3. It takes more force to kick a soccer ball farther than to kick it a shorter distance.

Answer 3

• A moving car will slow down and eventually stop unless the engine continues to provide force to accelerate it.
• A car will remain at rest until it exerts a force upon the Earth greater than the car's weight.
• A parachutist at terminal velocity will not accelerate up or down, only remain at constant velocity.
• A rock moving through space will travel perfectly straight unles acted on by gravity (which is certain, of course).

Answer 4

If you push a marble with the same force that you push a truck, the marble will accelerate more.

It takes more force to pick up an adult than it does to pick up a baby.
