Question

8. A mass of 10 Kg is accelerating at 3 m/s2. What is the applied net force?

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 30 \ Newtons}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the applied net force. According to Newton's Second of Law, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

`F= m * a`

The object has a mass of 10 kilograms and it is accelerating at 3 meters per second squared.

• m= 10 kg
• a= 3 m/s²

Substitute the known values into the formula.

`F= 10 \ kg * 3 \ m/s ^2`

Multiply.

`F= 30 \ kg * m/s^2`

1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton, so our answer of 30 kg × m/s² is equal to 30 N.

`F= 30 \ N`

The applied net force is 30 Newtons.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

F = ma

F = (10)(3)

F = 30 N
