Answer:
The force acting on a body is always equal to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.
Explanation:
The force of a body is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.
According to Newton's second law, wherever there is a change in momentum of the body for an interval of time, there is a force acting on it.
F = (mv - mu) / t
= m (v -u) /t
= m a
Where,
(v - u)/t - is the change in velocity of the body in the interval of time. It is equal to the acceleration of the body.
Hence, the equation for the force for any body becomes, F = m x a
