The second law of motion states that acceleration is impacted by both the mass of the object and the force moving the object. It can be formed in to the equation F=ma. Where F= force applied (net force), m= mass of object, and a= acceleration. This equation doesn't work in the extremes such as with objects with fluctuating masses, objects nearing light speed and objects at the atomic level were quantum mechanics are involved. When building pinewood derby cars, it is important to make your car is as heavy as possible so that gravity applies more force to it, causing it to have a greater acceleration.
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the mass of the object and the force applied.
