Newton's laws of motion works well for ordinary situations on earth. however, these laws of motion do not work for all cases. in which case would newton's second law not work correctly? a) on the surface of the moon. b) for extremely small objects. c) for objects larger that the earth. d) for objects moving close to the speed of light.

Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

And the correct answer is A) on the surface of the moon; because Newton's second law provides the explanation for the behavior of objects upon which the forces do not balance. The law states that unbalanced forces cause objects to accelerate with an acceleration that is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass.

So the correct answer is A) on the surface of the moon

Hope I helped.

not too sure thinking all accelerations are pointed down
