I dont know any equation that is F = kma. I only know F = ma and i know F = kx
mate these are constants of proportionality. you CHOOSE their values according to the units you have chosen. for the netwon's equation, we decided as convention in our units that a Force of 1 Newton is responsible to for 1 m/s^2 acceleration of a body of mass 1Kg. Hence, we chose our units of the physical quantities involved conveniently such that the constant of proportionality becomes 1.
