Select the correct answer. Which statement is true according to Newton's second law of motion?
A.
An object accelerates in the direction opposite to the direction of the force applied.
B.
An object accelerates in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the force applied.
C.
An object accelerates in the same direction as that of the force applied.
D.
An object undergoes no acceleration on the application of force.
E.
An object’s acceleration is independent to the force applied.

Ibelieve that the correct answer is: c. along plate boundaries

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
