Question

When a force acts on an object it produces acceleration which may be given as a = F/m where F is the force on the object and m is the mass of the object. This is known as
Options
A Third law
B Motion Law
C Newton's second law of motion
Correct Answer
D First law of Motion
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, a = F/m or F = ma.

Hint

Recall Newton's laws of motion.
