Question

Which law might require you to do some math calculations?

Answer 1

Answer:

Law 2

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Force = mass * acceleration$

Hence, Law 2 might require you to do some math calculations.

For example, an object having a mass of 20kg is pushed by John and it then accelerates down the inclined plane at a rate of 0.5m/s². Find the force applied on the object.

Given the following data;

Mass = 20kg

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²

To find the force;

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 20 * 0.5

Force = 10 Newton.
