Newton’s 2nd law gives us this formula F = ma. What force would be needed to accelerate a 20 kg object 5 m/s/s?

Respuesta :

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass  = 20kg

Acceleration  = 5m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed to cause the acceleration  = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

   Force  = ma

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Force  = 20 x 5 = 100N
