Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. Pushing a car or truck is a clear example of this law in action.
When you push a car or truck, the force you exert on the vehicle causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force. The heavier the vehicle is, the more force is required to accelerate it. On the other hand, if the vehicle is lighter, it will require less force to achieve the same acceleration.
Therefore, pushing a car or truck is a direct example of Newton's second law because the force you apply (your push) directly affects the acceleration of the vehicle, and the mass of the vehicle determines how much force is needed to achieve the desired acceleration.
