Which one of the following statements is not true about Newton’s second law of motion 
?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
: The second law of motion is a local law which means that force 
at a point in space (location of the particle) at a certain instant of time is related to 
at that point at that instant. Acceleration here and now is determined by the force here and now, not by any history or the motion of the particle.
