What is the relationship between force and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

• Force is inversely proportional to acceleration

• Force has no effect on acceleration

• Force is directly proportional to acceleration

• Acceleration is proportional to mass, not force

How is Newton's second law applied in the context of a car accelerating on a straight road?

• The application of Newton's second law in the context of a car accelerating on a straight road is that the force applied to the car (such as pressing the gas pedal) will result in an acceleration of the car, as long as there is no opposing force like friction or air resistance.

• The application of Newton's second law in the context of a car accelerating on a straight road is that the car will move in the opposite direction of the force applied

• The application of Newton's second law in the context of a car accelerating on a straight road is that the car will move at a constant speed regardless of the force applied

• The application of Newton's second law in the context of a car accelerating on a straight road is that the car will decelerate instead of accelerating

Explain how Newton's second law is relevant in the context of a rocket launching into space.

• Newton's second law is not relevant to rocket launching into space.

• The rocket's engines generate thrust by pulling mass towards the rocket, resulting in the rocket's inability to overcome Earth's gravity and enter space.

• The rocket's engines generate thrust by expelling mass at low speeds, resulting in the rocket's deceleration and inability to enter space.

• The rocket's engines generate thrust by expelling mass at high speeds, resulting in the rocket's acceleration and ultimately its ability to overcome Earth's gravity and enter space.

If the mass of an object is increased while the force acting on it remains constant, what happens to the acceleration?

• The acceleration becomes negative

• The acceleration increases

• The acceleration decreases

• The acceleration remains the same

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

• newton

• joule

• meter

• kilogram

How does air resistance affect the application of Newton's second law in real-life scenarios?

• It has no effect on the application of Newton's second law.

• It causes objects to move faster than expected.

• It affects the acceleration and the application of Newton's second law.

• It only affects the weight of the object.

Explain the concept of inertia in the context of Newton's second law.

• The force exerted by an object in motion

• The speed of an object in motion

• The ability of an object to change its state of motion easily

• The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
