Question

What force is required to give an object with mass 50 kg an acceleration of 8 m/s2?

Answer 1

F=ma
F=50kg*(8 m/s^2)
F=400N

Answer 2

400 N force will be required.

Step-by-step explanation:

mass of object = m = 50 kg

Acceleration of object = a = 8 m/s^2

Force = F =?

According to newton's second law of motion,

F = ma ............ (i)

By putting values in equation (i),

F = (50)(8)

F = 400 N

Hence, 400 N force is required to give an object of mass 50 kg an acceleration of 8 m/s^2.
