How does Newton's second law of motion differ from the first law of motion?

उत्तर
Newton's first law of motion gives the qualitative definition of force. It explains the force as the cause of acceleration only qualitatively but Newton's second law of motion gives the quantitative value of force. It states force as the product of mass and acceleration. Thus, it relates force to the measurable quantities such as acceleration and mass.
