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 directly relates to Newton's Second Law, which is commonly expressed as \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). It indicates that the acceleration of the tennis ball is influenced by the force applied by the racquet, reflecting the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
