narrow TypeError guard in newtons_second_law_of_motion
The bare 'except Exception' around mass * acceleration was catching RecursionError, MemoryError, KeyboardInterrupt, and any unrelated bug in surrounding code. The multiplication of two Python objects can only raise TypeError (wrong operand types) or OverflowError (very large floats), so narrowing to TypeError matches the documented error path and lets other exceptions propagate as designed. Also adds a doctest that exercises the error path with a None argument, so the new behavior is locked in by the test suite.
