Newton's Second Law

Newton's Second Law of Motion

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and is inversely proportional to its mass. The direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the net force acting on the object.

F (net) = m * a

In SI units, with the mass in kilograms, the unit of force is called the newton (N).

1N = 1 kg.m/s^2
