Question

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration for cars?

Answer 1

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 * Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica*, and was published in the year `1687`.

Answer 2

`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`
