Question

Newton's second law of motion is F = ma.

Answer 1

Answer: The acceleration of the object is 2m/s^2. If net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

Explanation:

Force is defined as the product of object's mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,

F = ma     ......(1)

or,

a = F/m      .....(2)

where,

F = Force exerted on an object = 60N

m = mass of an object = 30kg

a = acceleration of the object = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a = 60 kg.m/s^2/30 kg = 2m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is 2m/s^2.

From equation 2, it is visible that acceleration is directly proportional to force. This means that \if force increases, acceleration also increases.

And acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the object. This means that if mass increases, the acceleration decreases.

Hence, if net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

Answer 2

Answer:

F = m×a

60 N = 30 kg × a

30 × a = 60

a =  2 m/s²

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object.
