Question

Which equation correctly represents Newton’s second law of motion

Answer 1

F = ma

Where,

• F = force
• m = mass
• a = acceleration due to gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force, and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.

This is given by the relationship;

`force \: \alpha (change \: in \: momentum)/(time \: taken)`

Which is F = ma

Where,

• F = force
• m = massa
• a = acceleration due to gravity.
