Question

A 50-kilogram object in outer space is attracted to a nearby planet with a
force of 400 newtons. What is the object's acceleration? *

Answer 1

Answer: 8m/s^2

Explanation:

By Newton's second law we have that.

F = m*a

Where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

We know that m = 50kg and F = 400N

400N = 50kg*a

a = (400/50) m/s^2 = 8m/s^2
