The way I understand it, this is a very basic law, from which OTHER physical laws are derived - not one which is derived from more basic laws.The way you can confirm it is by making experiments, and observing the results. You will see that more force will indeed result in more acceleration, and more mass will reduce the acceleration. If you measure carefully (and eliminate friction forces and other undesirable forces to a great extent), you'll see that force is proportional to mass, and proportional to acceleration. In other words:
force = constant x mass x acceleration
The rule that "force = mass x acceleration" simply means that the constant is 1. In the SI, the units have been chosen intentionally in such a way that this is the case.
What else can I help you with?
Does mass and velocity equal force?
No, mass and velocity do not equal force. Force is the product of mass and acceleration, not velocity. The equation for force is F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Force is equal to an object's acceleration multiplied by its?
F=ma Force equals its mass times its acceleration.
Why is the slope of the force versus acceleration plot equal to the object's mass?
The slope of the force versus acceleration plot is equal to the object's mass because acceleration is directly proportional to force when mass is constant (F = ma). Therefore, the slope represents the ratio of force applied to the resulting acceleration, which is mass in this case.
Does speed times mass equal force?
No, speed times mass does not equal force. Force is calculated by mass times acceleration (F = ma), where acceleration is the change in speed over time. Speed times mass does not account for the acceleration of the object.
How are force mass and acceleration calculated with newtons second law?

What is mass multiplied by gravity?
Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
What is the formula for forcemass and acceleration?
Force is equal to mass times acceleration. Mass is equal to density times volume. Acceleration equals to velocity over unit time.
What is force felt by an accelerating object equal to?
the rate of acceleration depends on mass and force , in the equation a= f/m ie halve the mass = twice the acceleration double the force = twice the acceleration
What is the resulting acceleration of the masses?
F=ma Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.
When an unbalanced force acts on an object what changes depending on the size and direction of the force?
Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass. In other words, other things (i.e., the mass) being equal, the acceleration is proportional to the force.
What is the term for force is equal to mass times acceleration?
Inertia
What is it called when the Motion of an object is based on its mass and the force exerted on it?
Acceleration. Force is equal to mass times the acceleration, so in this case, acceleration is how fast an object increases its velocity.
