One newton iz defined as the force which gives a mass of 1kg an acceleration of 1m/second square,i.e=1N=1kg m/second square.
so,if m=1kg and a=1m/second square then F=1N.Substituting in F=kma ,we get k=1,so we can write...F=ma
this is newtons second law.when using it 2 points should be noted.
1- F,iz the resultant force causing the acceleration a .
2- F,must be in newoton,m in kilogram and acceleration in m/second square,otherwise k iz not 1.the law showz that awill be largest when F iz large and mass iz small

F = m * a
Where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration. When answering physics questions, brevity is life. :geek:
