A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?

Answer:10m/s^2

Explanation:

Mathematically,

Force = mass * acceleration

Given force (F) = 20N

Mass (m) = 2.0kg

Acceleration (a) = ?

Substitute them into the equation

20N = 2kg * a

Making a the subject by dividing through by 2

2kga/2 = 20N/2kg

a = 20N/2kg

a=10N/kg^1

a=10m/s^2

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2
