Newton's second law of motion explains:

A force applied to an object equals the object's mass times the object's acceleration.

Think about bowling: A bowling ball will not knock over the pins unless it has enough mass and enough acceleration.

Force = Mass x Acceleration

My mass is about 60 kg.

I am accelerating 5 m/s^2.

If I accidentally ran into you, how much force would I run into you with?

A) 3000 newtons

B) 30 newtons
