scalor

which statement about the acceleration of an object is correct

the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net external force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

according to newtons second law, when the same force is applied to two objects of different masses,

the object with greater mass will experience a smaller acceleration and the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration

the absences of air friction, the vertical component of a projectile's velocity does not change as the projectiles moves. this statement is...

always false

the law of inertia states that an object

at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an outside force, will continue moving at the same velocity unless an outside force acts on it, will continue moving in a straight line unless an outside force acts on it, that is not moving will never move unless a force acts on it.
