The correct answer is:
C. An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.
According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means the object accelerates in the direction of the net force.
C. An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.
According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means the object accelerates in the direction of the net force.
