Newton's second law of motion...

Explanation:

They are related through one equation, which every science student knows, that is

#F=ma#

In words: The net force applied on an object is equal to the object's mass multiplied by its acceleration.

In vector notation, this is written as #vecF=mveca#.

This law was formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in his book * PhilosophiƦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica*, and was published in the year #1687#.

#F = ma#

Explanation:

If a car of mass (#m#) is accelerated with a constant acceleration (#a#) due to a pushing force (#F#) then relation between #F, m# and #a# is

#F = ma#
