Question

What statement is true about Newton's second law?

Answer 1

The given statement "When the net force of an object decreases, the object's acceleration decreases" is true about Newton's second law.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion states that the object’s acceleration depends on two variable:

• Directly proportionate to the object’s force existed
• Inversely proportionate to the mass of the objects

The equation can be given as below,

             Force = mass × acceleration

Hence, from the above, it is concluded that force is directly proportionate to mass and acceleration of the objects. So, when force increases both mass and acceleration increases. Similarly, if force decreases, both mass and acceleration get decreased. Therefore, the given statement in option B would be correct answer.
