Question

6/10
according to newtons second law of motion, what is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?
force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration.
force is inversely proportional to mass and acceleration.
force is directly proportional to mass and inversely prop
al to acceleration.
force is directly proportional to acceleration and inversely proportional to mass.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that force \( F \) is equal to mass \( m \) times acceleration \( a \), i.e., \( F = ma \). This formula shows that force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration. When mass or acceleration increases, force increases proportionally (assuming the other variable is constant).

Answer:

Force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration.
