Question

Cara and Sam had to illustrate one Newton's laws. They drew this model to represent the __________ law of motion which can also be represented by the equation F = ma.

A) first
B) second
C) third
D) fourth

Answer 1

B: second law because this rule explains the relationship between the objects mass and the amount of force needed for it to accelerate.

Answer 2

Answer: The model depicts the second law of motion.

Explanation :

According to Newton's second law of motion :

F = ma

where,

F is the externally applied force

m is the mass of an object

a is the acceleration produced

We can say that acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of an object.

Higher the mass, less will be the acceleration.

So, the model illustrated by Cara and Sam represents Newton's second law of motion.

Hence the correct option is (B).
