Question

which of the following statements is true according to newtons 2nd law? 1 point if the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, the lighter object will accelerate more if the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, both will accelerate equally acceleration does not depend on mass force and acceleration are unrelated which of the following best describes newtons 2nd law of motion? 1 point objects at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by a force the acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the force applied for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction energy cannot be created or destroyed

Explanation:

Newton's second - law is expressed as $F = ma$, where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass and $a$ is acceleration. From this formula, when $F$ is constant, $a=\frac{F}{m}$, so a lighter object (smaller $m$) will have a larger acceleration. Also, the law states that acceleration depends on mass and the applied force.

Answer:

1. If the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, the lighter object will accelerate more.
2. The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the force applied.
