The net force acting on a body or system is equal to the mass of the system multiplied by the acceleration of the body or system the force is acting on. (F = ma)

Newtons Second law is f = ma, which is the force = mass x Acceleration , Force (Newtons) = Mass (kg) x Acceleration (Metres/ Second)

Newton's second law states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to the acceleration that object feels, mathematically defined as F=ma.

The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration. This is mathematically expressed as: F=ma

A force applied to an object equals a change in momentum (mass x velocity)

Newton's second law is: F=ma

Where F is force, measured in N

M is mass in kg

and a is acceleration in m/s^2

Newton's second law states that Net Force acting on an object is directly proportional to its acceleration. In mathematical terms

F= ma

where F = net force acting on the object

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

F=ma

The acceleration of an object depends on the force applied and mass of the object

F=MA

THE RATE OF CHANGE OF MOMENTUM IS PROPRATIONAL TO THE EXTERNAL FORCE ON BODY along to line of action

force create motion but force is vector quantity which has directional sense

pull and push are kind of direct active force whereas frictional is non conservative force in nature.

Newton's second law can simply be remembered by the equation F=ma, where F=force, m=mass, and a=acceleration. The acceleration of an object is dependent on two variables the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object for example; when riding your bike your bicycle would be the mass and your legs pushing the pedals would be the force being applied. When this happens your bicycle starts moving which is acceleration.
