Newton's second law states that the net force on an object equals mass times acceleration. So is the individual contribution of acceleration caused by an individual force of the many forces acting on said object given by F=ma where F is individual force and a is individual force's contribution to acceleration of body.

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

yes... but to be more precise it would be wiser to say resultant force than using the individual force :)

OpenStudy (lastdaywork):

@MayankD True (If your question was a T/F :P ) @***[ISURU]*** "it would be wiser to say resultant force than using the individual force" Doesn't the term resultant force implies the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on a body?
