F = m * a
Where:
* F is the net force acting on an object (measured in Newtons, N)
* m is the mass of the object (measured in kilograms, kg)
* a is the acceleration of the object (measured in meters per second squared, m/s²)
Explanation:
This formula tells us that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In other words:
* A larger force results in a larger acceleration.
* A larger mass results in a smaller acceleration.
Solving for Acceleration:
You can rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration:
a = F / m
