In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics classical mechanics], for a [[body]] with constant [[mass]], the acceleration of the body is [[proportional]] to the resultant ([[total]]) [[force]] acting on it ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion Newton's second law]) where F is the resultant [[force]] acting on the body, m is the mass of the body, and a is its acceleration.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration]
