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.

law¶

a = F / m

Latex:: \[{\vec a} = \frac{{\vec F}}{m}\]
