Answer: ma is the formula of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

Explanation: Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.

Hi there!

Using Newton's Second Law:

F = ma

F = Net Force (60 N)
m = mass (30 kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)

Solve for acceleration given the other values.


60 = 30a\\\\a = (60)/(30) = \boxed{2 (m)/(s^2)}

If the net force increases (while the mass is held constant), the acceleration will INCREASE.

If the mass of the object increases (while the net force is held constant), then the acceleration will DECREASE.
