9. Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to what?

Question

Responses

The objects displacement
The objects displacement - no response given

The objects acceleration
The objects acceleration - incorrect

The objects velocity
The objects velocity - no response given

The objects mass

Answer 1

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to the object's acceleration. The correct response is:

The object's acceleration.

According to the law, the equation can be expressed as \( F = ma \), where \( F \) is the force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration.
