Question

    According to Newton’s second law of motion, the

    acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the
    A Force acting on the object Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Inverse of the mass of the object Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Mass of the object Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D More than one of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it (F = ma). (B) Inverse of the mass of the object: acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. (C) Mass of the object: acceleration depends on the force, not mass alone. (D) More than one of the above: only option (A) is correct.
