Question

If an object with a mass of 30 kg accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s^2, what is the

magnitude of the force acting it?

Answer 1

Hello, for this use the second law of Newton:

F = ma

We have the data:

F = ?

m = 30 kg

a = 2 m/s^2

Replacing:

F = 30 kg * 2 m/s^2

F = 60 N

Result:

The force is of 60 Newtons.
