Consider Newton's second law states, often written as force = mass × acceleration. If a known force is applied to an object with a known mass, what does this law predict for the object's acceleration?
A) acceleration = mass × force
B) acceleration = mass / force
C) acceleration = force / mass
D) Newton's second law is irrelevant for solving this problem.
