Which is a correct statement of Newton's second law?

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net force.

When an object experiences a net force, it will accelerate at a rate determined by its mass.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Every mass in the universe is attracted to every other mass in the universe.

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

so the correct answer is When an object experiences a net force, it will accelerate at a rate determined by its mass.
