Question

The force required to produce an
acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2 in a
body of mass 10 kg is​

Answer 1

Here is the formula:

Acceleration=Force/Mass

Force=Mass x Acceleration

Mass=Force x Acceleration

Answer 2

Given :-

The force required to produce an  acceleration = 0.2 m/s²

Mass of the body = 10 kg

To Find :-

Calculate the force required to produce an acceleration.

Analysis :-

Substitute the values given in the formula of force i.e. mass multiplied by acceleration and find the force accordingly.

Solution :-

We know that,

• f = Force
• m = Mass
• a = Acceleration

By the second law of motion,

$\underline{\boxed{\sf Force=Mass \times Acceleration}}$

Given that,

Mass (m) = 10 kg

Acceleration (a) = 0.2 m/s²

Substituting their values,

Force = 10 × 0.2

Force = 2 N

Therefore, the force required is 2 N.

Little more :-

Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

The force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased.
