Question
a dad throws a baseball faster and farther than his 6 - year - old son.
a. first law of motion
b. second law of motion
c. third law of motion
The Second Law of Motion (F = ma) states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The dad can apply more force than the 6 - year - old son, resulting in greater acceleration of the baseball, making it go faster and farther. The First Law is about inertia and the Third Law is about action - reaction pairs.
