Which of the following are true according to Newton\'s 2nd Law? Choose all that

Question

Which of the following are true according to Newton's 2nd Law? Choose all that apply. If the acceleration is zero, then the net force is zero. If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with more mass will have a larger net force exerted on it. If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with more mass will have a larger net force exerted on it. The larger the net force on an object is, the larger the acceleration. The larger the net force on an object is, the smaller the acceleration. If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with less mass will have a greater acceleration. If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with more mass will have a greater acceleration.

Explanation / Answer

Newton's second law defines the force.

F = ma

Here, F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now examine each sentence based on Newton's second law

(1) If the acceleration is zero, then the net force is zero.- true

(2) If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with more mass will have a larger net force exerted on it. - true

(3) If two objects have the same acceleration, the one with less mass will have a larger net force exerted on it. - False

(4)The larger the net force on an object is, the larger the acceleration. - True

(5)The larger the net force on an object is, the smaller the acceleration - False

(6) If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with less mass will have a greater acceleration - True

(7) If you apply the same force to 2 objects, the one with more mass will have a greater acceleration. -False
