Question

A force of 5N acts on a body of weight 9.8 N. What is the acceleration produced in $m/s^2$?

Answer 1

f = ma

a = 5/9.8 = 0.51 m/s²

Answer 2

Force = m a

Given that Force = 5 N
Weight = m g = 9.8 N
m = 9.8/g
m = 9.8/9.8
m = 1 Kg

Therefore

F = m a
5 = 1 (a)
a = 5 m/s^2......Answer

Thanks.
