Question

An object with a mass of 4.0 kg has a force of 12.0 newtons applied to it. What is the resultant acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

Answer:

3m/s²

Explanation:

Force applied to an object can be calculated thus;

F = ma

Where;

F = force applied (Newtons)

m = mass of substance (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

According to the information provided in this question, F = 12.0 newtons, m = 4.0 kg, a = ?

Derived from F = m.a

We have; a = F/m

a = 12/4

a = 3

The resultant acceleration of the object is 3m/s².
