The best example of Newton’s Second Law of Motion is:

**The acceleration of a 0.058 kg tennis ball depends on the force of the racquet.**

This statement illustrates the relationship defined by Newton's Second Law, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). In this case, the force exerted by the racquet on the tennis ball will determine the ball's acceleration based on its mass.
