Which statement is true according to Newton's 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)
Newton's second law states that objects accelerate in the direction of the applied force. The law is mathematically expressed as F = ma, emphasizing the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. An example would be pushing a car; it accelerates in the direction you push it. ;
