So far we have only considered the influence of one unbalanced force on an object and we found that the effect was to accelerate it. If the same force is applied to the same mass we always measure the ...

Newton's Second Law is concerned with unbalanced forces. Unbalanced forces produce acceleration. The greater the unbalanced force the greater the acceleration. This law is usually written as an ...

The lift-off of a space shuttle is an example of an unbalanced force in action. The space shuttle accelerates upwards from its launch pad. The thrust \(T\) from the rocket engines is greater than the ...
