Understanding Work: Defining the Price of Electron Redistribution in Electricity

[DarkBabylon]

12 = 4 times 3. Therefore, if I have 3 repeated, 4 times, then I'd have 12. Here, I've explained the equation without using the word "equals". To my knowledge, I haven't altered the essence, even if I've altered the words. Now it's your turn. Explain F = ma without using the word "equals".

It's really hard because we might have an occasion where we have a mass of 3.141592... well pi. Mathematically, you basically repeat the same vector of acceleration yes, but if we just use "equals" it makes the formula general enough to be used for things which are not dependent on neither mass nor acceleration, because now the Force is not strictly limited to those quantities. Physically force can be anything, and it would always also be the rate of change of momentum, or mass times acceleration for unchanging masses.
