Newton's Second Law — Quiz

Question 8 • Physics in the Universe

Which quantity may be calculated directly using Newton’s second law of motion?

Answer
A
direction
B
velocity
C
weight
D
position

Explanation

Newton’s second law is F = ma, so it directly relates force to an object’s mass and acceleration. Weight is the gravitational force on an object and can be calculated as W = mg. Velocity, position, and direction are not directly calculated from Newton’s second law alone.
