Question

which statement is true because of newtons second law?
○ when the net force on an object decreases, the acceleration doesnt change.
○ when the net force on an object decreases, the objects acceleration decreases.
○ when the net force on an object decreases, the objects acceleration increases.
○ when the net force on an object increases, the objects acceleration decreases.

Explanation:

Newton's second law is \( F = ma\), where \( F\) is the net force, \( m\) is the mass (assumed constant for a given object), and \( a\) is the acceleration. Rearranged, \( a=\frac{F}{m}\). When \( F\) (net force) decreases and \( m\) (mass) is constant, \( a\) (acceleration) must decrease.

Answer:

When the net force on an object decreases, the object's acceleration decreases.
