Question

which sentence describes newtons second law? a. the action force applied by one object to another is equal in magnitude to the reaction force. b. larger net forces are required to accelerate objects that have more mass. c. two forces are unbalanced if they are unequal or they are not acting in opposite directions. d. when the forces on an object are balanced, the object does not move.

Explanation:

Newton's second law is $F = ma$, which means the net - force ($F$) acting on an object is equal to the mass ($m$) of the object times its acceleration ($a$). So, larger masses require larger net - forces to accelerate. Option A describes Newton's third law. Option C is a general statement about unbalanced forces. Option D is related to Newton's first law.

Answer:

B. Larger net forces are required to accelerate objects that have more mass.
