When a net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of
the force and the acceleration is directly proportional to the resultant/net force
and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. vv
Wanneer ‘n resulterende/netto krag op ‘n voorwerp inwerk, versnel die voorwerp
in die rigting van die krag ieen 'n versnelling direk eweredig aan die
resultante/netto_krag en omgekeerd eweredig aan die massa van die voorwerp.
OR/OF
The resultant/net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of
momentum of the object. (2 or 0)
