Question

What would be the force required to accelerate an object that weighs 35 N up at a rate of .60 m/s^2?

Answer 1

Answer: $2.14\ N$

Explanation:

Given

Force required to accelerate the object at the rate of $0.6\ m/s^2$

The weight of the object is $W=35\ N$

Mass of the object can be identified by dividing the weight by acceleration due to gravity

$\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{35}{9.8}\\\\\Rightarrow m=3.57\ kg$

$\therefore \text{Force F=}m\times a\\\Rightarrow F=3.57\times 0.6\\\Rightarrow F=2.14\ N$
