Hi!
Why is a in F=m*a
equal to a =(d^2 x) / (d t )^2 and not to (d x)^2 / (d t )^2

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In other words, the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration, and the heavier the object, the smaller its acceleration will be.
The mathematical representation of Newton's second law is F=ma, where F represents the net force acting on an object, m represents the mass of the object, and a represents the resulting acceleration.
According to Newton's second law, force, mass, and acceleration are all directly proportional to each other. This means that if the force acting on an object increases, its acceleration will also increase, and if the mass of an object increases, its acceleration will decrease.
Yes, Newton's second law can be applied to all types of motion, including linear, circular, and rotational motion. As long as there is a net force acting on an object, its acceleration can be calculated using this law.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Newton's second law explains that the greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, and therefore, the more force is needed to change its motion. This is because the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, as stated in the equation F=ma.
