$F = m a$ $F=ma$
Pushing a toy car on a slope

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law of motion states that $F = m a$ $F=ma$ .

$F$ $F$ = Force in newtons
$m$ $m$ = mass in kg
$a$ $a$ = acceleration in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ $m/s^2$

In words, it means that the force produced is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

For example, if we apply $500 N$ $500 N$ on a toy car that has a mass of $5 N$ $5 N$ , its acceleration will be $100 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ $100m/s^2$ . Of course, it will not be exactly $100 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ $100m/s^2$ because of friction acting on the toy car.

I hope that helps!
