Lesson: Newton’s Second Law of Motion Physics • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to apply Newton’s second law of motion, F = ma, to find the accelerations caused by forces that act in various directions.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use the formula in all combinations, where can be the resultant of multiple forces acting along a line in the same or opposite directions,
substitute the value of calculated using into kinematic formulas,
substitute the value of calculated using kinematic formulas into ,
substitute the value of determined using kinematic graphs into .
