Question

If the force acting on an object is 10N and the mass of the object is 15Kg what is its acceleration?

Answer 1

$\small{\underline{\sf{\red{Given:\rightarrow}}}}$

• Force [F]= 10N
• Mass [m] = 15kg

$\small{\underline{\sf{\pink{Find:\rightarrow}}}}$

• Acceleration [a]?

$\large{\underline{\sf{\blue{Solution:\rightarrow}}}}$

According to second law of motion,

$\bf{\blue{F=ma}}$

By Putting value in this formula we get,

$\sf{\implies 10 = 15 \times a}$

$\sf{\implies a= \dfrac{10}{15} = \dfrac{2}{3} = 0.66m/s^2}$

$\boxed{\bf{\red{a= 0.66m/s^2}}}$

More info:-

• Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.
• According to this law, a force upon an object causes it to accelerate according to the formula net force = mass x acceleration.

• Also known as the Law of Force and Acceleration.
