<h3>Newton's Second Law of Motion</h3>According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, when an unbalanced force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in it, in the direction of the applied force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Mathematically,
where,
- a = acceleration = ?
- F = Magnitude of the applied force = 6 N
- m = Mass of the ball = 9 kg
Therefore,
a = 0.67 m/s²
