Question

How much force is needed to make a 60 kg object accelerate at a rate of 2.0 m/s2?

Answer 1

Answer: 120N

Explanation:

Given variables are:

force needed = ?

mass of object = 60 kg

acceleration = 2.0 m/s²

Since the magnitude of force depends on the mass of the object and the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = mass x acceleration

Force = 60 kg x 2.0 m/s²

Force = 120 N

Thus, 120 Newton of force is needed to make 60 kg object accelerate at a rate of 2.0 m/s²
