Question

Newton's second law gives the measure of which physical quantity?

• A. Acceleration
• B. Force
• C. Momentum
• D. Angular momentum

Hint:

Newton's second law relates force to mass and acceleration, so it is used to measure force in various physical situations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Newton's second law of motion states: \[ F = ma \] where \( F \) is the force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration of the object. This law defines force as the product of an object's mass and its acceleration. Therefore, Newton's second law directly provides a measure of force.
