A 50kg object accelerates a 5m/s/s. What is the net force acting on the object?

Answer: 250 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of object = 50kg

Acceleration = 5m/s/s

Net force acting on the object = ?

Recall that force is the product of mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.

i. e Force = Mass x Acceleration

Force = 50kg x 5m/s/s

Force = 250 N

Thus, the net force acting on the object is 250 Newton

F=250N

Explanation:

When a force is acted on an object it causes an accelaration which depends on the mass of the object.

The relation between force and acceleration is explained in Newton's second law as follows

F=m. a

F = (50kg) x (5m/s^2)

F = 250N
