Question

Calculate the fource required to produce an accelation of 5m/s-2 in a body of mass 6kg

Answer 1

Answer: 30 N.

Given:

$\sf Acceleration(a)=5\:m/s^2$

$\sf Mass(m)=6\:kg$

To find:

$\sf Force(F).$

Formula used:

$\boxed{\sf Newton's\:Second\:Law\:of\:Motion\rightarrow F=ma}$

Explanation:

$\sf ``A\:push\:or\:pull\:upon\:an\:object\:which\:results\:objects\:interactions\:with\:its\\\\:surroundings\:is\:called\:Force."$

$\sf Substituting\:the\:values\:in\:the\:formula,we\:get:$

$\Rightarrow \sf F=6\times 5$

$\Rightarrow \boxed{\sf F=30\:N}$

Hence, the force required is 30 N to produce an acceleration of 5 m/s⁻² in a body of mass 6 kg.

Answer 2

Given ,

Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²

Mass (m) = 6 kg

We know that ,

$\boxed{ \sf{Force \: (F) = ma }}$

Thus ,

F = 5 × 6

F = 30 Newton

Therefore ,

• The 30 N of force is required
