Answer:

Yes, it's correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on it, according to the equation:


F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

We can re-arrange the previous equation in order to solve explicitely for a, the acceleration, and we find:


F=ma\\(F)/(m)=(ma)/(m)\\(F)/(m)=a\\a=(F)/(m)

So, we see that the acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
