Which of these is true about an object thrown straight up in the absence of air resistance? its acceleration increases as it falls. its acceleration and velocity are both momentarily zero at maximum height. its acceleration is constant. the direction of its velocity is constant.

answer: a) y=-8x+5

a) m= -8

b) m= -2

c) m= 7

d) m= 6

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
