Question

A force causes an acceleration of 20m/s² in a body of mass 2kg. What acceleration will be caused by the same force in a body of mass 5kg.

​

Answer 1

a=8m/s square

Explanation:

Given:- a=20m/s square, m=2 kg

we know that, F= ma

Therefore, F=20×2

F= 40 N

Now, we have F= 40 N, m=5 kg

Therefore, 40= 5×a

a= 40/5

a= 8 m/s square
