Question

A force of 1 N will cause a mass of 1 kg to have an acceleration of 1 m/s^2. Therefore, a force of 8 N applied to a mass of 1 kg will cause it to accelerate at what rate?

1 m/s^2
0.13 m/s^2
64 m/s^2
8 m/s^2
9 m/s^2

Answer 1

When a force of 8 N applied to a mass of 1 kg will cause it then mass will accelerate at the rate of
`8m/s^2.`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Force=8N

Mass=1kg

To find:

Acceleration rate=?

Solution:

Accrding to Netwon's second law of motion

Force = Mass x Acceleration

On substituting the values,

`8 N = 1 kg* Acceleration`

Solving the equation for Acceleration

`(8)/(1)=Acceleration`

Acceleration =8
