... The rate of change of velocity is the acceleration. Remember that a = Dv/Dt. The acceleration is related to the force by Newton’s 2nd Law (F = ma), so the acceleration of the boulder is less than that of the pebble (for the same applied force) because the boulder is much more massive. ...

... Newton's 2nd Law of Motion can be expressed as force equals mass times acceleration. It explains that force causes acceleration and mass resists acceleration. The more mass, the more force you need to make the object move. Acceleration is calculated by dividing change in velocity (final speed – init ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
