Question

What force accelerates a 500 kg object at 5 m/s2?

Answer 1

Answer:

2500N

Explanation:

f = m.a

m=500 kg

a=5 m/s²

f = 5*500 kgm/s² = 2500 N

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, Newton's second law states that:

$F = m * a$

Where:

F: Force

m: Mass

a: Acceleration

According to the data we have to:

$m = 500 \ kg\\a = 5 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

Substituting we have:

$F = 500kg * 5 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}\\F = 2,500N$

ANswer:

The necessary force is 2,500N
