According to Newton’s second law of motion, when the net force on an object is greater than 0 how is its mass related to its acceleration? A They are directly related. B They are equal. C They are not related at all. D They are inversely related.

Respuesta :

The given question speaks about the Newton’s laws of motion, specifically the second law of motion. The mass and acceleration are inversely related in case of a non zero force acting for the motion.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The second law of motion by Newton says that,

                              [tex]F \propto \frac{d p}{d t} |[/tex]

And, as we know that the force has been derived from the second law as,

                            [tex]F = mass \times acceleration[/tex]

Now when, force is greater than zero, then, F > 0

Therefore,

                [tex]0>\text { mass } \times \text { acceleration }[/tex]

               [tex]mass \propto \frac{1}{acceleration}[/tex]

For the case of non zero force, mass is inversely related to acceleration as per newton second law.
