Newton's second law related foce, mass, and accerlation. Based on what you have studied in this lab, come up with an equation that could accurately reflect how these three variables are related?

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion asserts that a system's acceleration is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the system's total external force, and inversely related to its mass. An object's weight is known as the force of gravity which acts on a mass object.

a= acceleration

m= mass of the object, and

F= external force.

a∝F

a∝ 1/m

therefore, a= F/m

Answer:

Force = mass × acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion gives a relationship between mass, force and acceleration of an object. The relation between these three variables is given by :


F=m* a

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

SI unit of mass and acceleration is meter (m) and meter per second square (
m/s^2) respectively. Hence, this is the required solution.
