It is required to define Newton's second law of motion
Newton's second law states that Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
F = m a
Newton’s second law tells that the acceleration of an object depends on two variables
- the net force acting on the object
- the mass of the object
Acceleration a = F / a
This means acceleration of the body is directly proportional to the net force acting on the body and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
