## Newton's Second Law of Motion
The second law makes use of the concept of mass, so that seems to be next on the agenda.
### Mass
You might have previously heard the Newtonian definition of mass, which makes it synonymous with a measure for the "quantity of matter" in an object. However, physicists have since come to a consensus that this is a definition sans precision. Mass is the *measure of the inertia of an object.^ The more mass an object has, the greater the force needed to give it a particular acceleration. In other words, get it moving.
