F = m * a
Where:
* F represents force (measured in Newtons, N)
* m represents mass (measured in kilograms, kg)
* a represents acceleration (measured in meters per second squared, m/s²)
This equation states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration. In other words:
* A larger mass will require a larger force to achieve the same acceleration.
* A larger acceleration requires a larger force for the same mass.
