Question

question 13 (1 point)
determine if the example is newtons 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law.
acceleration of an object depends on its mass and size and direction of the force.
a newtons first law
b newtons second law
c newtons third law

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states that \(F = ma\) (force equals mass times acceleration). This law directly relates acceleration (\(a\)) to mass (\(m\)) and force (\(F\)). The example mentions acceleration depending on mass and the direction of the force, which aligns with \(F = ma\). Newton's First Law is about inertia (an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by a net external force). Newton's Third Law is about action - reaction pairs (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction).

Answer:

B. Newton's Second Law
