Resultant force indicates

Object is accelerating or decelerating

Newton's Second Law formula

F=m×aF = m \times a

Relationship between acceleration and resultant force

Directly proportional

Relationship between acceleration and mass

Inversely proportional

Effect of zero resultant force

Constant speed, no acceleration

Effect of larger resultant force

Larger acceleration

For given force, effect of heavier mass on acceleration

Lower acceleration

Same mass, higher force results in

Greater acceleration

Same force, higher mass results in

Lower acceleration

As force increases, acceleration...

Increases (proportional)

As mass increases, acceleration...

Decreases (inversely proportional)

Definition of inertial mass

Measure of how difficult to change velocity of an object

Formula for inertial mass

forceacceleration\frac{\text{force}}{\text{acceleration}} or fa\frac{f}{a}
