Question

what is the acceleration of an object that has a mass of 4.0 kg if the net force acting on it is 26N

Answer 1

Use Newton's Second Law: Fnet = ma
where Fnet = total net force, m = mass of object, and a = acceleration of object.

You are given Fnet = 26N and m = 4.0kg. Plug them into the equation and solve for a:
$26 = 4.0a$
$a = 6.5$

The answer is 6.5 m/s^2
