Newton's second law states: sum of forces = mass × acceleration. If a known force was applied to an object with a known mass, how would you predict that object's acceleration?
A)acceleration = sum of forces / mass
B)acceleration = mass / sum of forces
C)acceleration = mass × sum of forces
D)Newton's second law is irrelevant for solving this problem.
