This relationship is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
* Direct Proportionality: The equation shows that force and acceleration are directly proportional. This means that if you increase the force, the acceleration will increase proportionally.
* Constant Mass: The mass of the object is assumed to be constant. If the mass changes, the relationship between force and acceleration will be affected.
Example:
* If you push a shopping cart with twice the force, it will accelerate twice as fast.
* If you push a heavier shopping cart with the same force, it will accelerate less than a lighter cart.
