What 3 quantities does Newton's Second Law relate?

Force, mass, and acceleration

Newton's Second Law formula

F=m×aF = m \times a

How acceleration relates to resultant force

Directly proportional

How acceleration relates to mass

Inversely proportional

Effect when resultant force is zero

Constant speed, no acceleration

Effect of larger resultant force

Larger acceleration

Effect of larger mass (with same force)

Lower acceleration

2 objects, same mass, one has higher force

Greater acceleration

2 objects, same force, one has higher mass

Lower acceleration

Inertial mass definition

Measure of how difficult it is to change an object's velocity

Inertial mass formula

Fa\frac{F}{a}
