Question

5 dune force can produce an acceleration of _____ cm/s² on an object of mass 100 g

Answer 1

the answer is 10cm/s

Answer 2

We are going to use the simplified form of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

The equation we will be using is:

$F=ma$

We are given units in CGS System. So we would be working with that. Our data is:

$F=5 \, \, dyne \\ \\ m = 100 \, \, gm$

We use the equation:

$F=ma \\ \\ \implies 5 = 100 \times a \\ \\ \implies a = \frac{5}{100} \, \, cm/s^2 \\ \\ \implies \boxed{\bold{a=0.05 \, \, cm/s^2}}$

Thus, 5 dynes force can produce an acceleration of $\bold{\underline{0.05 \, \, cm/s^2}}$ on an object of mass 100 g.
