What force was required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 3 m/s/s?
Please help ASAP

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple F = ma problem. I'm assuming because of the representation of the numbers that you are not that into sig figs in class, so I will ignore them, against my better (physics teacher) judgment:

F = (20)(3) so

F = 60 N

We know that,

F = ma

  • Where f is force,m is mass & a is acceleration.

From ques. we have;

  • mass = 20 kg
  • Acceleration = 3 m/s²

So,

F = 20 × 3

F = 60 N
