Title
Newton's 2nd law revisited.
Abstract
The article discusses Newton's Second Law of motion. The law says that the force on an object is proportional to acceleration. A new test was performed by physicists at the University of Washington using a swiveling torsion pendulum, a special kind of pendulum in which the restoring force is not gravity but is provided by a very thin torsion fiber.
