Document Summary
An object at a specific state tends to remain in that state of motion unless an force is applied to it externally (an unbalanced force occurs on the object) Ex. if a box is on the table , it will remain at the same place and where remain in the same state unless someone or something pushes on it or a force is applied. Second law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector. The greater the mass, the greater the amount of force needed for the acceleration of the object. summarized by using the sum of forces formula: Fnet = m a where m is the mass where a is the acceleration. Very important formula force and acceleration are vectors (indicates direction: any forces that have an arrow on top is a vector it indicates direction, opposite is scalar.
