State Newton's second law of motion

What will be an ideal response?


If an object is acted on by a net force, it will experience an acceleration that is equal to the net force divided by the mass. Because the net force is a vector, the acceleration is also a vector. In fact, the direction of an object's acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force acting on it.
