What is the formula for calculating the force acting on an object according to Newton's second law of motion?.

  1. A.F = m / a
  2. B.F = m x a
  3. C.F = a / m
  4. D.F = m + a

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • F = m x a

Explanation

Why this works

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. This relationship is fundamental in understanding how forces affect motion.
