Answer #1

Newton's second law details the relationship between the applied force, the mass and its acceleration.

This can be expressed mathematically as -

F = m*a

Mass 'm' is constant.

So,

F a

Means, acceleration is directely proportional to the applied force.

Now, if Newton's second law didn't work and force cause unpredictable accelerations, then -

When we swing a bat at a baseball, it will cause INFINITE acceleration to the baseball.

Because, in this case acceleration(a) is not proportional to the applied force (F).

1.) We are going to play baseball. But, to make sure there aren’t any extra forces in the way, we will be playing in space (so there isn’t gravity, and there isn’t air resistance). When we play, we will separate the pitch of the ball and what happens after into four segments: 1. The ball is in the pitcher’s hand, and being thrown from rest until it leaves the pitcher’s hand 2.The ball is on the way from the pitcher...
