Generation

## Newton's Second Law **The Law:** Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). More precisely, the net force acting on an object causes it to accelerate in proportion to that force and inversely proportional to its mass. ## Common Misconception **"Force is required to keep an object moving"** Many people think a constant force is needed to maintain constant velocity. Actually, Newton's second law tells us that force causes *acceleration* (change in velocity), not velocity itself. An object moving at constant speed in a straight line experiences zero net force. This misconception stems from everyday experience where friction is ever-present—we must push continuously to overcome friction, not to maintain the motion itself.
