Which is a correct statement of Newton's second law?

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted
upon by a net force.
Every mass in the universe is attracted to every other mass in the universe.
When an object experiences a net force, it will accelerate at a rate determined by its
mass.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A body at rest is considered to have a zero speed, so any force causing the body to move is an unbalanced force and any force causing the body to slow down is also an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force cause acceleration or deceleration i.e a change in speed
