What does Newton's second law of motion state?
- A Force is directly proportional to mass times acceleration.
- B Force is inversely proportional to acceleration.
- C Force is directly proportional to mass.
- D Force is inversely proportional to mass.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Newton's second law of motion states that force is directly proportional to acceleration.
Here's a breakdown of the law:
Force is any push or pull that can cause an object to change its motion.
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity (speed and direction). The greater the acceleration, the faster the change in motion.
The law essentially states that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration it will experience. Conversely, a smaller force will result in a smaller acceleration.
