Question

A mass of 300g is acted upon by a force which produces an acceleration of 5m/s 2 , calculate the force.​

Answer 1

Given :–

Mass = 300g

Acceleration = 5m/s²

To Find :–

Force.

Formula Used :–

Use Newton's second law :–

F = ma

Solution :–

Here, both the mass and the acceleration is given in the question.

First, we need to convert the mass to gram into kilogram,

For converting gram into kilogram,

We need to divide 1000 by the mass value of the gram because we know that,

1kg = 1000g

So here,

Mass = 300g

It means,

$→ \frac{3\cancel{00}}{10\cancel{00}}$

→ 0.3kg

Mass = 0.3kg

So,

Put the value of mass and acceleration in the Newton's second law (F = ma),

→ 0.3 × 5

→ 1.5N

Hence,

The Force is 1.5N.
