Question

multiple - choice question
can unbalanced forces cause acceleration?
no
yes
rewatch

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

Newton's second law is \(F = ma\), where \(F\) is the net force, \(m\) is the mass, and \(a\) is the acceleration.

Step2: Analyze unbalanced forces

When forces are unbalanced, the net force \(F
eq0\). Since \(m> 0\) (mass of an object is non - zero), from \(a=\frac{F}{m}\), if \(F
eq0\), then \(a
eq0\). So unbalanced forces cause acceleration.

Answer:

B. Yes
