A common example is a person up to bat in a game, such as cricket or Baseball. A particular player has a maximum strength that limits the force that they can produce on the bat. The strength provides the force to move the bat. A lighter, less massive bat will move much faster.

A similar example is the difference between a drag-racer and an economy car. The drag racer has a very large engine that can generate much force, and a very low-mass frame, to accelerate quickly. An economy car has a much more massive frame and a much smaller engine that can generate a smaller force.

Another example is a tuning fork. A tuning fork is a spring that converts force to speed forward, then forward speed to force, and back, cycling over and over. If the fork is made shorter, there is less mass. The lower mass accelerates more quickly, so the fork cycles more often and has a higher pitch.

A shorter plucked string has a higher pitch for the same reason, if it is pulled to the same force as a longer string. In woodwinds or organ tubes, the vibrating medium is the air in a tube. Longer tubes require a longer, more massive column of air to move, and have lower resonant pitches.

A more exotic example is a rocket engine. Chemical rocket engines all produce similar amounts of energy per quantity of fuel, and therefore place similar energies into the exhaust. However, engines that produce lighter molecules have faster exhausts with more acceleration for the same mass, and produce more force per mass-unit of fuel.

Newton's second law is a formula. An example of this formula in use is when a cart is being pushed, the more weight added with the same force pushing it would cause the velocity to decrease. The more force would cause the velocity to increase.
