Question

Force is based upon both mass and acceleration.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law is useful in determining the value of the resulting force acting on a body. For this it is necessary to measure the mass of the object and the acceleration of its movement. The resulting force is then equal to the product of mass by acceleration:

F = m × a

Where:

F: force

m: mass

a: acceleration

Answer 2

True

Explanation

Force is a pull or a push. Force a body to move after a pull/pull a force has to me applied. The mass of the body determines the force to b applied. For lagger masses, more force is needed to make it move.

When this pull or push is made, the body moves from its initial position, say at rest and it acquires a certain velocity. So,we can say that the body accelerated since there was change in velocity.

The better definition of force is;

Force is that that changes a body's state of motion or shape.

The newton's 2nd law of motion is summarized by the equation

F = ma, meaning force is the product of mass and acceleration.
