Question

If the mass of a moving object is 500g, what force will be required to speed up the object at a rate of 2m/s2 ?

Answer 1

The force acting is given by 1N.

Step-by-step explanation:

mass, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

acceleration, a = 2 m/s^2

According to the Newton's second law, the force acting on an object is given by the product of mass and the acceleration of the object.

F = m a

F = 0.5 x 2 = 1 N
