Explain the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration using the formula a=f/m.

• The formula a=f/m represents the law of inertia.

• The formula a=f/m represents Newton's second law of motion.

• The formula a=f/m represents the law of conservation of energy.

• The formula a=f/m represents the relationship between speed and time.
