Acceleration - Newton s Second Law states that the acceleration (a) of an object is directly proportional to the force (F) applied, and inversely proportional to the object s mass (m). That is, the more force you apply to an object, the greater the rate of acceleration; and the more mass the object has, the lower the rate of acceleration.
