According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it and the change in momentum takes place in the direction in which the force is applied.
Force(f) = Mass(m) * Acceleration(a)
(i) The acceleration produced in a body of given mass is directly proportional to the force applied on it, i.e a ∝ F (if mass remains constant).
(ii) The force needed to produce a given acceleration in a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body, F ∝ m (if acceleration remains the same)
