According to Newton's second law of motion, the change in velocity of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it. Velocity is a vector quantity. It measures the magnitude of the speed as well as its direction.
F = m a
where, F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
When elements combine, they form molecules. Simply put, a molecule is a group of two or more atoms chemically bonded together. ... Certain molecules are also compounds. A compound is a group of two or more different atoms chemically bonded together.
The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
