Question

What force is needed to acceleratea 2-kg mass at rest to a rate of 1 m/s^2?

Answer 1

Given

The mass is m=2 kg

The acceleration is

`a=(1m)/(s^2)`

To find

The force

Step-by-step explanation

We know, the force is the product of mass and acceleration

Thus

`\begin{gathered} F=ma \\ \Rightarrow F=2*1=2\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

Conclusion

The force required is 2 N.
