We apply Newtons second law to determine the magnitude of the acceleration a F m a F m in the direction of F F. For a constant mass force equals mass times acceleration. Often expressed as the equation a Fnetm or rearranged to Fnetma the equation is probably the most important equation in all of Mechanics.

Vec a dfrac Sigmavec F m dfrac vec F_text net m a mSF. If a force produces an acceleration an in a body of mass m then we can state mathematically that as. Newtons second law is the most fundamental equation of classical mechanics. Vec a dfrac Sigmavec F m dfrac vec F_text net m a mSF.
