\nNewton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration (a) of an object is directly proportional to the net force (F) acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (m). Mathematically, F = ma. In this equation, mass (m) is the constant of proportionality relating the force to the acceleration it produces.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMass is an intrinsic property of an object that measures its inertia (resistance to change in motion) and its gravitational pull. Weight (W) is the force exerted on an object due to gravity (W = mg), where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMass is a fundamental constant of proportionality in Newton’s second law and is a universal property of the object. Weight is a force and is not a universal constant; it varies depending on the strength of the gravitational field (value of g).
