Newton's Second Law:
A)holds that the net force on an object is the product of the object's mass and its acceleration.
B)does not take into account the effects of drag on a falling object.
C)explains why a falling object will accelerate indefinitely.
D)is not adequate for the study of falling droplets; Einstein's relativity equations must be applied.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newton's Second Law states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. It does not address the effects of air resistance or drag on an object, but it does explain why an object in a vacuum will continue to accelerate as it falls. Einstein's theory of relativity applies to objects traveling at very high speeds or experiencing significant gravitational forces, but is not necessary for the study of falling droplets.
