Answer 1

This question involves the concept of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

a) The acceleration is "1 m/s²".

b) The acceleration is "1.5 m/s²".

c) The amount of force needed is "100 N".

d) The force needed is "187.5 N".

e) The force needed is "280 N".

NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION:

According to Newton's Second Law of motion whenever an unbalanced force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in the object in the direction of the force itself.

Mathematically,

$F = ma$

where,

• F = Applied Force
• m = mass of the object
• a = acceleration

a)

Here,

• F = 100 N

• m = 100 kg

• a = ?

Therefore,

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{100\ N}{100\ kg}$

a = 1 m/s²

b)

Here,

• F = 60 N

• m = 40 kg

• a = ?

Therefore,

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{60\ N}{40\ kg}$

a = 1.5 m/s²

c)

Here,

• F = ?
• m = 200 kg

• a = 0.5 m/s²

Therefore,

$F=ma = (200\ kg)(0.5\ m/s^2)$

a = 100 N

d)

Here,

• F = ?
• m = 250 kg

• a = 0.75 m/s²

Therefore,

$F=ma = (250\ kg)(0.75\ m/s^2)$

a = 187.5 N

e)

Here,

• F = ?
• m = 140 kg

• a = 2 m/s²

Therefore,

$F=ma = (140\ kg)(2\ m/s^2)$

a = 280 N
