Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a 10 kg object is subjected to a net force of 50 N, what is its acceleration?
  • Step 1: Identify the mass of the object. In this case, the mass is 10 kg.
  • Step 2: Identify the net force acting on the object. Here, the net force is 50 N.
  • Step 3: Recall the formula for acceleration, which is a = F/m, where 'a' is acceleration, 'F' is force, and 'm' is mass.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: a = 50 N / 10 kg.
  • Step 5: Perform the division: 50 N divided by 10 kg equals 5 m/s².
  • Step 6: Conclude that the acceleration of the object is 5 m/s².
  • Newton's Second Law of Motion – This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
