The acceleration of an object depends on the mass and amount of force applied, this relationship is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Here's the breakdown:

* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This fundamental law of physics states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically:

* F = ma

Where:

* F is the net force acting on the 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)

In simpler terms:

* More force = more acceleration (assuming mass stays the same)

* More mass = less acceleration (assuming force stays the same)
