According to the Newton's second law, which of the following is TRUE about a person pushing a lawn mower? А The net external force applied by the person is the push plus friction exerted on a lawn mower. B The force exerted by the person pushing the mower must be less than the friction opposing the motion. С The direction of the acceleration is the same direction as that of the net force, which is parallel to the ground. D The direction of the acceleration is the same direction as that of the force of friction, which is parallel to the ground.

The correct option is;

C. The direction of the acceleration is the same direction as that of the net force, which is parallel to the ground

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration which a net force on an object produces has a magnitude that is directly proportional to that of the magnitude of the net force, and the direction of the acceleration is the same as that of the net force that produces it.

Therefore, given that the net force which tends to push the lawn mower across the grass acts parallel to the ground, the direction of the is in the same direction of the net force, moving parallel the ground.

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 -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [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.

The great sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). you don’t find many men of his caliber, so you him design a new gun. this new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 n/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 n. the inside of the gun barrel is coated with teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 n during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. at what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?
