Here's a breakdown:
* Directly related to the net force applied: This means that if you increase the force acting on an object, its acceleration will increase proportionally.
* Inversely proportional to its mass: This means that if you increase the mass of an object, its acceleration will decrease.
The Mathematical Representation:
Newton's Second Law is often represented by the equation:
F = m * a
where:
* F is the net force applied
* m is the mass of the object
* a is the acceleration of the object
This equation shows the direct relationship between force and acceleration and the inverse relationship between mass and acceleration.
