Question

An object with a mass of 3.0 kg has a
force of 9.0 newtons applied to it. What
is the resulting acceleration of the
object?

Answer 1

$\LARGE{ \underline{ \tt{Required \: answer:}}}$

We have:

• Mass of the object = 3 kg
• Force on the object = 9 N

We need to find:

• Resulting accleration of the object?

Solution:

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, or quantitative measure of Force:

• Force = Mass × Accleration

Using this,

➝ F = ma

➝ 9N = 3 kg × a

➝ a = 9/3 m/s²

➝ a = 3 m/s²

Hence,

• The resulting accleration of the object is 3 m/s². And we are done! :D

Answer 2

If mass (3.0 kg) multiplying (*) acceleration gives you force (newtons), force dividing mass gives you acceleration; 9/3 =


3 m/s^2
