⇒ When an unbalanced force is applied to an object, it experiences a change in velocity

⇒ When a force is applied at an angle it changes direction

⇒ Equation: Resultant force = mass x acceleration

• Provided the force is in newtons (N) and the mass in kilograms (kg), then the acceleration is measured in ms^-2
