Question

which equation correctly represents newtons second law of motion?
a net force x acceleration = mass
b acceleration = net force / mass
c velocity = distance / time
d net force = acceleration / mass

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion is \( F = ma \), where \( F \) is the net force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration. Rearranging this formula to solve for acceleration gives \( a=\frac{F}{m} \). Option c is the formula for velocity, not related to Newton's second law. Options a and d have incorrect algebraic manipulations of \( F = ma \).

Answer:

B. acceleration = net force / mass
