Acceleration depends on which two factors?

Question

Multiple choice question.
cross out

A)
mass and position

cross out

B)
net force and mass

cross out

C)
mass and velocity

cross out

D)
position and net force

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B) net force and mass

Acceleration is defined by Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). Therefore, the acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting on it and its mass.
