Ch 5: Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
The acceleration produced by a net force on an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, is in the same direction as the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton's 2nd law is expressed by the formula: a = Fnet /mass
