Flashcard 1 - Physics Flashcard Set for the HESI Exam

\[F = m \cdot a\]
Explanation:
Newton’s second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and its acceleration. This is written as the equation \(F = m \cdot a\). It explains how the motion of an object changes when a force is applied — the greater the force, the greater the acceleration, and the greater the mass, the more force is needed to accelerate it.
