Question

Which of the following is an expression of Newton's second law? A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and the net force acting on it. O O B. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. C. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest, and objects in motion tend to slow down until they come to rest. D. Every force is paired with an equal and opposite force.​

Answer 1

Answer: A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and the net force acting on it.

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion explains that the acceleration of an object will depend on two vital variables which are the mass of the object and the net force that's acting on it.

It should be noted that the acceleration of the object directly depend on the net force while it depends inversely on the mass. Therefore, when the force that's acting on such object is increased, then the acceleration will increase as well. On the other hand, when there is an increase in mass, there'll be a reduction in the acceleration.
