The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "The relation \(\vec{F} = m \vec{a}\) cannot be deduced from Newton's second law, if:", we need to analyze the conditions under which this relation holds true. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Equation**: The equation \(\vec{F} = m \vec{a}\) states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. This is a fundamental principle derived from Newton's second law of motion. 2. **Identifying Variables**: In this equation: - \(\vec{F}\) is the net force acting on the object. - \(m\) is the mass of the object. - \(\vec{a}\) is the acceleration of the object. 3. **Considering Mass**: The equation assumes that the mass \(m\) is constant. If the mass of the object changes with time, then the relationship \(\vec{F} = m \vec{a}\) may not hold true because the acceleration could be influenced by the changing mass. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - If **force depends on time**: This does not invalidate the equation as forces can change over time while still following the equation. - If **momentum depends on time**: Momentum can change with time, but this does not negate the relationship since momentum is defined as \(p = mv\) and relates to force. - If **acceleration depends on time**: Acceleration can change over time, but the equation still holds as it describes the relationship at any instant. - If **mass depends on time**: This is the critical condition. If mass changes with time, then the equation \(\vec{F} = m \vec{a}\) cannot be deduced from Newton's second law because the standard form assumes constant mass. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the relation \(\vec{F} = m \vec{a}\) cannot be deduced from Newton's second law if mass depends on time. ### Final Answer: The relation \(\vec{F} = m \vec{a}\) cannot be deduced from Newton's second law if mass depends on time.
