According to Newton’s second law of motion, what is force equal to?

acceleration divided by mass
mass times acceleration
mass divided by acceleration
inertia times acceleration

1 answer

According to Newton’s second law of motion, force is equal to mass times acceleration. This is commonly expressed in the formula:

\[ F = ma \]

where \( F \) is the force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration.
