Question: A block of mass 5 kg is resting on a horizontal surface. If a horizontal force of 20 N is applied, what is the acceleration of the block? (Assume no friction)

Options:

  1. 2 m/s²
  2. 4 m/s²
  3. 5 m/s²
  4. 10 m/s²

Correct Answer: 2 m/s²

Solution: 

Using Newton\'s second law, F = ma, we have a = F/m = 20 N / 5 kg = 4 m/s².

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A block of mass 5 kg is resting on a horizontal surface. If a horizontal force of 20 N is applied, what is the acceleration of the block? (Assume no friction)
  • Step 1: Identify the mass of the block, which is 5 kg.
  • Step 2: Identify the applied force, which is 20 N.
  • Step 3: Recall Newton's second law of motion, which states that Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a), or F = ma.
  • Step 4: Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration (a): a = F/m.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: a = 20 N / 5 kg.
  • Step 6: Calculate the acceleration: a = 4 m/s².
  • Newton's Second Law – 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.
