When a net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction
of the force, and the acceleration is directly proportional to the force and
inversely proportional to the mass of the object. vv
Wanneer 'n netto krag op 'n voorwerp inwerk, sal die voorwerp in die rigting van
die krag versnel, en die versnelling is direk eweredig aan die krag en omgekeerd
eweredig aan die massa van die voorwerp. (2)
