A net force of 10. Newtons accelerates an object at 5.0 meters per second2. What net force would be required to accelerate the same object at 1.0 meter per second2?

Sagot :

The net force that would be required to accelerate the same object at 1.0 meter per second squared is 2 Newtons

Given that a net force of 10 Newtons accelerates an object at 5.0 meters per second2.

The parameters given are:

Force F = 10N

Acceleration a =  5m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

mass M = ?

From Newton's second law : F = ma, we can calculate the mass of the object. Substitute Force and acceleration into the formula.

F = ma

10 = 5m

make m the subject of the formula

m = 10/5

m = 2 kg

To know the net force that would be required to accelerate the same object at 1.0 meter per second2, we will applied the same formula with the same mass. Since mass will always constant.

F = ma

Where acceleration a = 1 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

F = 2 x 1

F = 2 N

Therefore, the net force that would be required to accelerate the same object at 1.0 meter per second squared is 2 Newtons
