According to the Newton's second law, which of the following is TRUE about a person pushing a lawn mower? A The direction of the acceleration is the same direction as that of the force of friction, which is parallel to the ground. The force exerted by the person pushing the mower must be less than the friction opposing the motion. C The direction of the acceleration is the same direction as that of the net force, which is parallel to the ground. The net external force applied by the person is the push plus friction exerted on a lawn mower. ©2021 Illuminate Education TM, Inc. B.
