Newton's second law of motion tells that with a given force, how much a body would accelerate.
Explanation:
According to the above fact,
It can be stated by:-
where, a= acceleration f=force and m=mass of the body.
Most common mistake which people make ( even I had done this) is mentioning in a vertical force into an horizontal equation.
We should be careful in plugging in vertical forces into vertical equation and horizontal forces in horizontal equation.
This is because horizontal force= affects horizontal acceleration and vice versa.
