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

Where:

* F is the force, measured in Newtons (N)

* m is the mass, measured in kilograms (kg)

* a is the acceleration, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²)

Explanation:

* Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate.

* Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

* Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Example:

If a car with a mass of 1000 kg accelerates at 2 m/s², the force acting on the car can be calculated as:

F = m × a

F = 1000 kg × 2 m/s²

F = 2000 N

Therefore, the force acting on the car is 2000 Newtons.

Important Note: This formula applies to objects in motion or at rest. If an object is at rest, its acceleration is 0, resulting in 0 force acting on it.
