Newton's Second Law of Motion
Also known as: Force Formula, F=ma
F = m \times a
F = m × aWhat It Calculates
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
variables
| Symbol | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| F | Force | Net force applied to the object |
