Here's why:

* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This fundamental law states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration. Mathematically, it's expressed as F = m * a, where:

* F is the force (measured in Newtons)

* m is the mass (measured in kilograms)

* a is the acceleration (measured in meters per second squared)

* Defining the Newton: One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a 1 kilogram mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared.
