Yes, you can determine the net force being exerted on an object if you know its mass and acceleration. According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and its acceleration. The relationship is expressed mathematically as:

Net Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

Here,

- Net force (F) is measured in newtons (N),

- Mass (m) is measured in kilograms (kg), and

- Acceleration (a) is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2)

To calculate the net force, simply multiply the mass of the object by its acceleration. For example, if an object with a mass of 5 kilograms is accelerating at a rate of 2 meters per second squared, the net force acting on the object is:

F = m * a

F = 5 kg * 2 m/s^2

F = 10 N

Therefore, the net force acting on the object is 10 newtons.
