Which of the following situations involves the Newton’s second law of motion?
A. A force can stop a lighter vehicle as well as a heavier vehicle which are moving

B. A force can accelerate a lighter vehicle more easily than a heavier vehicle which is moving

C. A force exerted by a lighter vehicle on collision with a heavier vehicle results in both the vehicles coming to a standstill

D. A force exerted by the escaping air from a balloon in the downward direction makes the balloon to go upwards
As the second law states that the rate of change of momentum of a body, is directly proportional to the force applied and this change in momentum takes place in the direction of the applied force.
