Question

Calculate the force needed to move a 2kg mass with an acceleration of 5ms-2

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{10 \ N}}$

Explanation:

$\sf Force \ (N)=mass \ (kg) \cdot acceleration \ (ms^{-2})$

$F=ma$

The mass is 2 kg.

The acceleration is 5 ms⁻².

$F = 2 \cdot 5$

$F=10$

The force is 10 N.
