Question

According to the second law of motion, for a given force, acceleration is inversely proportional to the _____ of an object. 

(a) density

(b) volume

(c) force

(d) mass

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) mass

Newton derived the laws of motion. According to the second law of motion for a given force, the acceleration of the object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Therefore, more the mass less is the acceleration and vice versa. 

\(a \propto \frac 1M\)
