How much force is exerted if a 250 kg object has an acceleration of 750 m/s2?

Question 9 options:

0.33 N

187,500 N

3 N

none of the above

Use Newton's second law: F=ma

m = 250kg. a = 750ms-2

F = 250 x 750 = 187 500N

The correct option is B which is 187,500 N.

Explanation:

According to the second law of motion, if a considerable amount of force is exerted on an object of mass, it will produce acceleration in the object.

F = ma.

By putting values from question in the above formula:

F = 250 kg * 750 m/s2

F = 187,500 Kg. m/s2.

Kg. m/s2 is equal to 1 newton which is the unit of force.

Hence the correct option is B which is 187,500 N.
