Jerome has a tow truck, and he is in charge of moving several vehicles for the city. He wants to explain to his niece how towing vehicles relates to Newton's second law. Which statement should he use?

Force = mass x acceleration

Explanation:

According to the Newton's second law, the net force acting on the object is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body.

So, Force is given by

F = m a

where, F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

when the mass is more, the acceleration is less as the force applied by the truck is same.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
