Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied to the body and occurs in the direction in which the force is applied. This law is commonly expressed as the following equation:
F = ma
where F is the force applied to the body, m is the mass of the body, and a is the acceleration of the body. This equation shows that the greater the mass of the body, the greater the force required to accelerate it, and the greater the acceleration of the body, the greater the force required to maintain it.
