According to Newton's second law we have:

F = ma

Where,

F: Sum of forces or net force applied

m: total mass of the object

a: acceleration of the object

We observe that the force and the acceleration are proportional, being the constant of proportionality the mass of the object.

Therefore, the object accelerates in the same direction as the applied force.

Answer:

An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.

The correct answer to the question is C).An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question,  first we have to understand Newton's second laws of motion.

As per Newton's second laws of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the net external force and takes place along the direction of force.

Mathematically F =\ \frac{dP}{dt}

Here, P is the momentum and P = mv.

                         ⇒ F = \frac{d}{dt}(mv)

                                 = m\frac{d}{dt}(v)        [m = constant]

                                 = ma.

Here, m  and v are the mass and velocity of a body .

'a' stands for the acceleration of a body which is the rate of change of velocity.

In vector form it can be written as \vec F=\ m\times\vec a.

Hence, it is obvious that the net external force is the product of mass with acceleration.

As mass is a scalar quantity, so we can say that force is simply the scalar multiple of mass with acceleration.

Hence, the direction of acceleration will be along the direction of force.

What feelings do learned helplessness and depression have in common?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Learned helplessness can have a profound impact on mental health and well-being. People who experience learned helplessness are also likely to experience symptoms of depression, elevated stress levels, and less motivation to take care of their physical health. Not everyone responds to experiences the same way.

How can humidity be used to predict if it is going to rain?
postnew [5]
1. Humidity cannot be used to predict rain.
2. I'm pretty sure it's weather but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe like 89% sure.

3. Tempurature doesn't affect humidity.

4. Not sure but I think its the 3rd one
