| According to Newton's second law of motion, the more force Shaun exerts on one side of his board, the greater his acceleration will be in the direction of that force. Named after Sir Isaac Newton's Second Law, Force equals Mass times Acceleration, FMA Live Newton's second law of motion describes that force in physical terms: Force mass x acceleration (F = m x a). |
