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

Answer 1

The best example of Newton’s Second Law of Motion from the options provided is:

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

This statement illustrates the relationship described by Newton's Second Law, which can be summarized by the equation \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). It shows that the acceleration of an object (the tennis ball) is influenced by the force applied to it (by the racquet).
