Question

According to Newton’s second law of motion, what does the acceleration of an object depend on?

The temperature of volume of the object
The shape and color of the object
The mass of the object and the amount of force applied
The distance the object travels

Answer 1

According to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. The law is commonly expressed by the formula \( F = ma \), where \( F \) is the force applied, \( m \) is the mass of the object, and \( a \) is the acceleration. Thus, the correct option is:

**The mass of the object and the amount of force applied.**
