Select the correct answer.
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)
The correct answer to Newton's second law of motion is that an object accelerates in the same direction as the force applied. This is described by the formula F = ma, demonstrating the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. In essence, the acceleration is aligned with the direction of the net force exerted on the object. ;
