#F=ma#
Pushing a toy car on a slope

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law of motion states that #F=ma#.

#F#= Force in newtons
#m#= mass in kg
#a#= acceleration in #m/s^2#

In words, it means that the force produced is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

For example, if we apply #500 N# on a toy car that has a mass of #5 N#, its acceleration will be #100m/s^2#. Of course, it will not be exactly #100m/s^2# because of friction acting on the toy car.

I hope that helps!
