Question

What's the relationship between mass, inertia, and acceleration?

Answer 1

Newton's Second Law can be summarized as follows: If F represents the net force applied to an object of mass m, then its acceleration has the same direction as the net force and its magnitude is proportional to the quotient F/m, i.e.



a represents the acceleration, m the mass and F the net force. By net force it is understood the resultant vector sum of all the forces acting on the body.

Let's see Newton's Second Law concepts of Mass, Inertia, Acceleration and Force and an access to exercises on this Law.

Answer 2

F=ma
or
a=F/m
