Exploring Newton's Second Law: Force, Mass, and Acceleration

What does Newton's second law of motion primarily state?

• Force affects the speed of an object.

• Objects in motion stay in motion.

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

• Objects at rest stay at rest.

How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration when the same force is applied?

• Heavier objects accelerate faster.

• Lighter objects accelerate faster.

• Mass does not affect acceleration.

• Both heavier and lighter objects accelerate at the same rate.
