Here's a breakdown:

* Directly proportional to the magnitude: This means that if you increase the force acting on an object, its acceleration will increase proportionally.

* In the same direction: The acceleration will always occur in the same direction as the net force applied.

* Inversely proportional to its mass: This means that if you increase the mass of an object, its acceleration will decrease proportionally.

The Formula:

Newton's Second Law is often expressed as the following equation:

F = m * a

Where:

* F is the net force acting on the object

* m is the mass of the object

* a is the acceleration of the object
