F=ma

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law stated that acceleration is directly proportional to magnitude of a force in the direction of that force, and inversely proportional to the mass the force is acting on.
Algebraically, #F~a# (F is proportional to a) and #a~1/m# (a is inversely proportional to m). Therefore, #F=ma#, where F is force (in Newtons), a is acceleration (in #m/s^2#), m is mass (in kg), and one Newton (N) is equal to #kg*m/s^2# .
