Question

What is the total force of an object which has a mass of 150kg and is accelerating at 2m/s/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 300 \ Newtons }}$

Explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

$F=ma$

The mass is 150 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second per second, or 2 meters per square second.

$m= 150 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$F= 150 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 300 \ kg*m/s^2$

• We know that 1 kilogram meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton.
• Therefore our answer of 300 kg*m/s² is equal to 300 N

$F= 300 \ N$

The force of the object is 300 Newtons.
