Second law is a local law. What does this say about acceleration?
AIt depends on past motion
BIt depends on present force
CIt needs the body at rest
DIt holds near Earth only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. It depends on present force
Force at a point and instant fixes the acceleration at that point and instant, whatever the earlier history of motion.
