Summary Newtons second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object equals the net force acting on the object divided by the objects mass. The equation for Newtons second law is as follows - F ma Or a F net m Here F force m mass a acceleration Where a f. F ma.
F net.
Often expressed as the equation a Fnetm or rearranged to. 1N equals the amount of force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 kg at 1 metersecond. Notice that we gave our answer in Newtons NThis is the standard international unit of force. F d p d t.
