What is a Newton? An Explanation

The first one is an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion Second is force is mass times acceleration Third every action has an equal and opposite reaction Fourth one maybe is the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the orbit

hi i'm sorry if this isn't smart sounding but i have a genuine question: am i right in saying the same amount of newtons can result in different rates of acceleration? example: 1kg x 5m/1sec sq = 5 newtons = 5kg x 1m/1sec sq I have so much insufficient information its crazy but i'll just ask that. Thanks for the video!

[@stepbystepscience]

Yes, the acceleration is directly proportional too the force, this comes from Newton's second law. If you double the force you double the acceleration, if you use less force you get less acceleration.

My suggestion would be to add an example "without calculations", e.g. a person enters a race at 3m/s then is quick stepping at 6m/s then jogging at 9m/s next running at 12m/s and finally sprinting at 15m/s with the respective time and position for each velocity. nice work.

how do we calculate the m/s that gravity will give any mass? in other words, how do we reach the understanding that "0.102kg" will accelerate at specifically 9.81 m/s^2?

[@stepbystepscience]

This video explains who we arrive at the value of 9.81 for the acceleration due to gravity. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noeVfqqXgqajkNk

[@dhavalpatel2577]

For, 1 N force experiment where should be 1kg mass? in space or in flat surface? If in flat surface, What should friction coefficient?

[@stepbystepscience]

An object that weighs 1 N will have a mass of about 100 g.

[@theflame45]

Thank you for the explanation

[@stepbystepscience]

You are welcome!

[@user-on3ef9dg9s]

Why does a force accelerate an object? I don't understand that, If I push a cube of a force of 10N continously, that cube's speed will be constant, and so the acceleration must be 0

[@stepbystepscience]

If you push the cube and there is no friction between the cube and the surface or if the net force is greater than the friction force the cube will have a constant acceleration. It's hard to do. Does that help?

Isn't Newton essentially like joule - Work/Force over a distance?

[@stepbystepscience]

Not really, newton is the unit of force and and joule is the unit for work. Work is when a force is applied through a distance and is calculated with the equation: work = force x distance.

[@markp805]

How can Force(N) = ma (mass x acceleration), exist in all situations when Force also equals F(N) = PA (Pressure x Area)? Doesn't f=ma actually relate only to the "Net sum of the forces" and only applies in situations where there is an accelerating object?

[@PraveenKumar-od2xj]

Great explanation

[@stepbystepscience]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@markp805]

Doesn't F=ma apply only in certain situations? If I am exerting pressure on a wall and the wall doesn't move, there is no acceleration and my mass probably doesn't matter either. If I am applying a force of 10N to the wall, how would you calculate that using my mass of 80kg and acceleration = 0?

[@stepbystepscience]

F = ma applies is every situation, except for quantum mechanics. The mass would be the mass of the wall, F is the net force (the sum of all the forces acting on the wall) applied to the wall and a is of course the acceleration. If you pushed on the wall with a force of 10 N, then the wall pushes back in the opposite direction with a force of 10 N. The sum of these two forces is 0 N (+10N + -10N = 0N) and therefore the acceleration of the wall is 0 N and it does not move. Does that help?

[@markp805]

@@stepbystepscience Sorry that does not help especially since you didn't answer the question. It makes sense that if we say that NET F = ma. But you didn't say or imply that. Disregarding QM, you repeated that in all situations, f=ma, not NET f=ma, which I would understand. I might have 100 different vectored forces and the beauty of F=ma appears to be that we can calculate the Net force of those 100 different forces, simply by using the mass of the object and it's current acceleration. Thank you Newton, Simply genius. However, that does not explain how to use mass and acceleration to calculate one of the vectored forces on the object. By definition, 1 Newton of Force is the Force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second. Doesn't this simply mean a 1N of force is EQUIVALENT to a 1Kg mass accelerating at one metre per sec/sec. If you wanted to say the 10N force I am applying is equivalent to a force of 10kg accelerating at 1m/s/s, that is accurate, but how can you calculate the vectored 10N force using f = ma when my mass is 80kg and my hand against the wall is not moving? Please calculate the force I am applying using f = ma.

A meter per second squared (m/s2) is the unit for acceleration. It tells you how much you speed changes for every seciond. That is what acceleration is, a change in velocity (or speed) over a given time.
