Examples of Newton's 2nd Law  If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more acceleration than the truck, because the car has less mass.  It is easier to push an empty shopping cart than a full one, because the full shopping cart has more mass than the empty one.

Example 1: A book is on the top of a shelf and it's just there. But then I push it and it accelerates fast

Example 2: You are sitting in a sled and you are at the top of the hill. You are not going anywhere and you can sit there all day without moving. But you push the sled and you slide down the hill

Other examples: Skiing and skateboarding

Hope it helps!
