Question

which statement is a correct statement of newtons second law?
o every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
o when an object experiences a net force, it will accelerate at a rate determined by its mass.
o an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net force.
o every mass in the universe is attracted to every other mass in the universe.

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net - force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. That is, when an object experiences a net force, it will accelerate at a rate determined by its mass. The first option is Newton's third law, the third option is Newton's first law, and the fourth option is the law of universal gravitation.

Answer:

When an object experiences a net force, it will accelerate at a rate determined by its mass.
