Question

What is the total force of an object which has a mass of 150kg and is accelerating at 2m/s/s?

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 300 \ Newtons }}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

`F=ma`

The mass is 150 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second per second, or 2 meters per square second.

`m= 150 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`F= 150 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2`

Multiply.

`F= 300 \ kg*m/s^2`

• We know that 1 kilogram meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton.
• Therefore our answer of 300 kg*m/s² is equal to 300 N

`F= 300 \ N`

The force of the object is 300 Newtons.
