Answer 1

Answer:

• I think that you can use the formula F= ma....I hope it will help

Answer 2

Given,

Mass of the body is 2 kilograms.

The acted force is 10 kgf.

To find,

The acceleration caused by the force.

Solution,

At first,we have to change the value of the force into SI unit or Newton unit.

Now,

1 kgf = 9.807 newtons

10 kgf = 9.807×10 = 98.07 newtons

Rest of the values are already in SI units.

Now, we have to calculate the value of acceleration by using the following mathematical formula :

Force = mass × acceleration

98.07 = 2 × a [ Let, acceleration = a]

2a = 98.07

a = 49.03

Hence,the acceleration caused by the force is approximately 49.03 m/s².
