The laws of motion show the relation between:
Correct answer: D. Force and acceleration
- A. Mass and acceleration
- B. Mass and velocity
- C. Mass and weight
- D. Force and acceleration
Explanation
The laws of motion, specifically Newton's second law, show the relation between Force and acceleration. This law states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F = ma). So, the force applied to an object and the resulting acceleration are directly related. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration of the object, assuming the mass remains constant. Conversely, for a given force, an object with a larger mass will have a smaller acceleration. This law allows us to predict the motion of an object based on the forces acting upon it.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
