Sensei Tip: Newton's 2nd Law is not a formula — it's a process. 👊

Most students memorize F=ma and think they're done. That's not enough.

Here's the process that actually works:

Step 1 — Identify every object in the problem.

Step 2 — Draw a free body diagram for each one.

Step 3 — Choose a coordinate system and stick to it.

Step 4 — Write F=ma for each direction separately.

Skip any of these steps and your answer will be wrong, even if your math is perfect.
