Answer:

Newton's Second Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

(I'm going to assume this is an option, but please let me know if it's not!)
