a) force
b) mass
c) acceleration
d) inertia

Answer 1

You could use newton’s second law to calculate the force applied to an object if you knew the objects mass and its acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

By, Newtons second law, the force applied on an object directly varies with the acceleration caused and the mass of the object.

This is given by :

`F=m\ a`

Where
`F` represents force applied on the object ,
`m` represents mass of the object and
`a` represents the acceleration.

In order to calculate force applied on object we require the mass of the object and its acceleration. The force can be calculated by finding the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
