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

OR/OF
The resultant/net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of
momentum of the object in the direction of the resultant/net force.
Die resulterende/netto krag wat op 'n voorwerp inwerk is gelyk aan die tempo
van verandering van momentum in die rigting van die resulterende/netto
krag. (2 or/of 0) (2)
