Question

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:10m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically,

Force =mass ×acceleration

Given force ( F )=20N

Mass ( m )=2.0kg

Acceleration ( a ) =?

Substitute them into the equation

20N =2kg ×a

Making a the subject by dividing through by 2

2kga/2 =20N/2kg

a =20N/2kg

a=10N/kg^1

a=10m/s^2

Answer 2

10 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2
