Force is the product of mass and acceleration. It is described by Newton’s second law, F = ma, where F represents force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. This relationship states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration.

Force is the product of mass and acceleration (B). Newton’s second law of motion states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). This law describes how the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In simpler terms, the greater the mass of an object and the greater the acceleration applied to it, the greater the force exerted. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement, while weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. However, force is specifically determined by the mass of an object and the rate at which its velocity changes, which is represented by acceleration. Therefore, the correct option is mass and acceleration (B).
