A force F when acting on a mass m will produce an acceleration a given by the equation F = m a.

OpenStudy (roadjester):

@CNmubarak Are you referring to Newton's second or third law? Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction) reaction. As @douglaswinslowcooper said, force as defined by Newton is F=ma.

Oops. I give the wrong law, the second law. Should not have trusted memory. Sorry.
