Jack Frost pulls on a rope of a sled giving his friend Cindy Lou Who a ride across an icy pond surface (assume no friction). He pulls the rope with a force of 40 N at some angle above
the horizontal moving the sled a distance of 8.31 meters. He does 247 Joules of work on the
sled. What angle does the rope make with the horizontal?

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.
