Newtons 2nd Law resource.
This video gives an excellent explanation of Newtons second law. Though it is a little hard to follow in the beginning because it starts kind of in the middle of the video, but if you keep watching it'll get clearer. The video is also interesting because it provides the definition of Newtons Second law as force equals mass times acceleration which is simply another way of saying acceleration equals force divided by mass. It also states that this means that force is directly proportional to acceleration and mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.The use of a football kicker helps us understand the second law better by giving us a clear example that when force is exerted on an object it will accelerate.
