“…Newton's formulation of force was revolutionary; he described force as equal to the change in momentum per change in time, which can be expressed as mass times acceleration. This foundational concept, encapsulated in the equation 'F=ma', is a cornerstone of classical mechanics and profoundly influenced our understanding of the physical world, i.e., F = ma [10][11] [12] (4)…”

This article traces the historical evolution of applied force equation from its origins with Aristotle to the widespread recognition of Sir Isaac Newton's foundational equation, 'F=ma'. The contributions of influential figures such as John Philoponus, Avicenna, and John Buridan are explored, highlighting the progression of our understanding of applied forces over time. The central insight of this study revolves around the conventional equation 'F=ma', which, while fundamental, lacks consideration of resistance forces encountered in real-world scenarios. This paper aims to consider both the force applied to an object and any opposing resistance forces it experiences. The proposed equation (F=ma+r) emphasizes that an applied force not only causes acceleration but must also overcome resistance forces to achieve that acceleration. This equation offers a more complete model for practical scenarios. Additionally, the suggested method for measuring resistance forces adds to its real-world utility. It highlights how science continually evolves to better describe the complexities of the physical world.

“…"A body moving on a level surface will continue to move in the same direction at a constant speed unless disturbed." [14][15] [16] Far from these researcher, Isaac Newton (1643-1727) saw things in vacuum. He did not add the concept of resistances while calculating applied force.…”

In this paper, the effect of resistances on applied force has been studied practically. As per the study, the existing Newton’s equation (F=ma) calculates only net force and does not count the effect of resistances. It has been observed that in every action some part of the applied force is required to overcome the effect of resistances (friction, air resistances, etc.); and when applied force exceeds that amount only then a stationary body accelerate. Hence a mathematical expression (F=ma+r) has been provided by including a factor describing above said resistances.
