Per NCERT, what does Newton's Second Law state in WORDS — about the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?
AMass cannot change
BForce always equals mass
CWhen a net force acts on an object, the object accelerates in the direction of the force; magnitude of acceleration is proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass
DAcceleration is constant regardless of force
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. When a net force acts on an object, the object accelerates in the direction of the force; magnitude of acceleration is proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass
Per NCERT §6.5, Newton's Second Law: a ∝ F, a ∝ 1/m, with direction of a same as F.
