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.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

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.
