Video Summary

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In equation form, F = ma. Where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. For example, if you double the force acting on an object, the acceleration of the object will double. Similarly, if you double the mass of an object, the acceleration of the object will be half as much.
