Question

Calculate the force acting on a body of mass 10 kg moving with an acceleration of 6 m/s²

Answer 1

According to Newton’s Second law of motion.

Formula:
F(Force)=m(mass) x a(acceleration)


60 Newton Answer

Answer 2

Required Answer:

Given:

• Mass of the body ( m ) = 10 kg

• Acceleration ( a ) = 6 m/s²

To find:

• Force ( F )

Calculation:

We know that,

• F = ma

$\longrightarrow$ F = 10 × 6

$\longrightarrow$ F = 60 N

Therefore, force acting on the body is 60 N.

Extra!

● Force

• Force can be defined as product of mass and acceleration.

• Force is a vector quantity.

• SI unit force is Newton (N).

• Formula : F = ma

● Acceleration

• Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity with time.

• Acceleration is a vector quantity.

• SI unit of acceleration is m/s².

• Formula : a = v-u/t

» v = final velocity

» u = initial velocity

» t = time taken
