Newtons Second Law Of Motion

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to push a heavy shopping cart through a crowded supermarket. The difficulty you experience is similar to Newton's second law of motion, where the effort (or force) you apply to move the cart needs to overcome both the cart's weight (its mass) and the resistance from the crowd (like friction). Just as the cart accelerates more easily when you push harder or when it's lighter, an object's acceleration is determined by the net force you apply to it divided by its mass, emphasizing how both force and mass influence movement.
