Answer:
The second law of motion states that the force of an object is equal to its mass times its
acceleration.
o A change in motion occurs only if a net force is exerted on an object.
o A net force changes the velocity of the object, and causes it to accelerate.
o If an object is acted upon by a net force, the change in velocity will be in the
direction of the net force.
o The acceleration of an object depends on its mass.
o The more mass an object has or the more inertia it has, the harder it is to
accelerate.
o More mass means less acceleration if the force acting on the objects is the same.

Explanation:
The force exerted by the earth on a falling baseball is smaller than the force exerted by the earth on a falling bowling ball. However, since the baseball has less mass than the bowling ball, the two accelerate at the same rate. This is known as Galileo's gravity experiment, but it also demonstrates Newton's second law.
When a bowling ball hits a pin, the pin pushes back with equal and opposite force. Because the bowling ball has a large mass, the acceleration caused by the force is small. Since the pin has a small mass, the acceleration caused by the force is large.
