Question

which equation states newton’s second law?
a. a = fm
b. a = m/f
c. a = f/m
d. a = m²/f

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the force \( F \) acting on an object is equal to the mass \( m \) of the object multiplied by its acceleration \( a \), i.e., \( F = ma \). To solve for acceleration \( a \), we rearrange the formula by dividing both sides by \( m \), which gives \( a=\frac{F}{m} \).

Answer:

C. \( \boldsymbol{a = F/m} \)
