What is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it according to Newton's second law?
What is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and the net force acting on it according to Newton's second law?
- Acceleration divided by mass equals the net force
- Acceleration plus mass equals the net force
- Acceleration minus mass equals the net force
- Acceleration multiplied by mass equals the net force (correct)
