Question

Which statement is true according to newtons second law of motion?
A) An object accelerates in the direction opposite to the direction of the force applied.
B) An object accelerates in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the force applied.
C) An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.
D) An object undergoes no acceleration on the application of force.
E) An object's acceleration is independent to the force applied.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Newton's laws are known as laws of motion; they are three principles from which a large part of the problems posed in mechanics are explained, particularly those related to the movement of bodies. Newton's Second Law determines a proportional relationship between force and variation in the amount of movement, that is, the force is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of a body.
