Acceleration from force and mass (vector) ========================================= Newton's second law of motion states that in an inertial frame of reference, the acceleration of a body in motion is proportional to the net force exerted on it, and its mass is the constant of proportionality. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.dynamics.vector.acceleration_from_force .. py:data:: mass :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.basic.mass` of the object.
