Then the Second Law is:
The net external force F acting on a material
object is related to the mass m of the object and its acceleration
a by
F = ma
or a = F/m
A force of 1 Newton applied to a body with a mass of 1 kilogram produces an
acceleration of 1 meter/second.
How much acceleration do you get if you apply a force of 3 N to a 1 kg body?
How much acceleration do you get if you apply a force of 1 N to a 3 kg body?
