Question

Which of these statements is correct about Newton's second law of motion?

It states the meanings of force, mass, and acceleration.
It analyses the meanings of force, mass, and acceleration.
It decribes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
It explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

Answer 1

It describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

Answer 2

Answer : It describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

Explanation :

Issac Newton has given three laws i.e.

Newton's first law

Newton's second law

Newton's third law

The first law motion illustrates that an object at rest will remain at rest or an object in motion will remain in motion until an external force acts on it.

The second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the force.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

F = m a

m is the mass of an object

a is the acceleration due to gravity.

The third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So, the correct statement about Newton's second law is " It describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration ".
