Here, $\overrightarrow{F}$ is the net force acting on an object with mass $m$, and $\overrightarrow{a}$ is the acceleration the object experiences as a result of this action. Mass is a measure of an object's \textit{interia}: the heavier an object is, the more effort it takes to change its velocity. \\

In civilized countries, mass is measured in grams and force is measured in \textit{newtons}. One newton is the force it takes to accelerate 1 kg of mass to 1 meter per second. In other words,

Newton's third law also concerns forces. It states that \textit{every action has an equal and opposite reaction}.
|

|

In other words, this means that when one object exerts force on another, the second simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted on it by the first.

Here is an important example of an inverse vector. When you stand still, the floor pushes you up with the force opposite to the force of the gravitational pull, a.k.a. \textit{weight}. \\
