Question

What force accelerates a 500 kg object at 5 m/s2?

Answer 1

2500N

Step-by-step explanation:

f = m.a

m=500 kg

a=5 m/s²

f = 5*500 kgm/s² = 2500 N

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, Newton's second law states that:

`F = m * a`

Where:

F: Force

m: Mass

a: Acceleration

According to the data we have to:

`m = 500 \ kg\\a = 5 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}`

Substituting we have:

`F = 500kg * 5 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}\\F = 2,500N`

ANswer:

The necessary force is 2,500N
