- $F = ma$
- $F$ = [[Force]]
- $m$ = [[Mass]]
- $a$ = [[Acceleration]]
- net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration
- this law ties [[Force]] and [[Acceleration]] together, via [[Mass]]
- the vectors point in the same direction, but [[Force]]'s magnitude is also multiplied by [[Mass]]
- more specifically, equation is $\sum F = ma$
- where $\sum F$ is the net force vector
