Can anyone tell me a way to illustrate this in a chart or graph?
Force is a physical quantity that describes the interaction between two objects. It can cause an object to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction.
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude and no direction.
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It can be caused by a change in speed, direction, or both.
The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is described by Newton's second law of motion: Force = mass x acceleration. This means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to accelerate it at a certain rate. Similarly, the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be.
Force is measured in Newtons (N) in the metric system and in pounds (lbs) in the imperial system. It is typically measured using a force meter or a scale, which can measure the amount of force an object exerts on a surface.
