F = m a

(Force = Mass x acceleration)

Newtons Second law: A body of mass (m) subject to a net force (F) undergoes an acceleration (a) that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, i.e., F = ma. Alternatively, the total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative of linear momentum of the body.

The equation can be moved around to find the mass from a known acceleration and force, or to find the acceleration from a known force and mass.

The equation used to represent Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, where F is the force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. This equation states that the force acting on an object is proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration produced.

a = F/m or F = ma, where a is acceleration in m/s2, F is force in Newtons, and m is mass in kilograms.

F = m a

F - force, m - mass of the body on which force acts and a - acceleration produced.
