Question

Which of the following situations involves the Newton's second law of motion?

पर्याय

• a force can stop a lighter vehicle as well as a heavier vehicle which are moving

• a force can accelerate a lighter vehicle more easily than a heavier vehicle which are moving

• a force exerted by a lighter vehicle on collision with a heavier vehicle results in both the vehicles coming to a standstill'

• a force exerted by a escaping air from a balloon in the downward direction makes the balloon to go upwards

Answer 1

A force can accelerate a lighter vehicle more easily than a heavier vehicle which are moving.

Since, F = ma
⇒ a = F/m
Lesser the mass, higher the acceleration.
