Newton's second law of motion establishes a relationship between.
Correct answer: A. Force and acceleration
- A. Force and acceleration
- B. Mass and force
- C. Mass and velocity
- D. Acceleration and mass
Explanation
Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: F = ma This equation shows the relationship between force and acceleration.

About Newton's Laws of Motion
Newton’s laws explain inertia, the relation between net force and acceleration, and action-reaction pairs. Questions involve free-body diagrams, balanced and unbalanced forces, F = ma, force as the rate of change of momentum, and identifying genuine third-law pairs, which act on different bodies.
