a = F / m
where:
* a is the acceleration of the object (in meters per second squared, m/s²)
* F is the net force acting on the object (in Newtons, N)
* m is the mass of the object (in kilograms, kg)
Explanation:
This equation states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means:
* Greater force: A larger net force will result in a larger acceleration.
* Smaller mass: A smaller mass will result in a larger acceleration for the same force.
