= mass times acceleration Force Weight Strength Gravity

The correct answer is "Force."<br /><br />The equation \( F = m \times a \) represents Newton's second law of motion, where \( F \) is the force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration. This equation states that the force exerted on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. Therefore, the correct term for the quantity represented by this equation is "Force."
