Question

A book has a mass of 50 kilograms and an acceleration of 5 m/s/s. What is the force on the book?

Answer 1

Answer:

The force on the book is 250N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law states that the equation for the force is:

$F = ma$

In which m is the mass, in kilograms, and a is the acceleration, in m/s². F is the force measured in N.

In this question:

$m = 50, a = 5$

So

$F = ma = 50*5 = 250$

The force on the book is 250N.
