Q. A net force of 10N accelerates object to 5.0m/s2. What net force would be required to acceler ate the same object 1.0m/s2 ?
Calculate Mass: Use Newton's second law, F=ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.Given F1=10N and a1=5.0m/s2, find the mass m.m=a1F1m=5.0m/s210Nm=2kg
Find Force for Acceleration: Now, find the force F2 needed to accelerate the same mass m at a2=1.0m/s2. Use F2=ma2. F2=m×a2F2=2kg×1.0m/s2F2=2N
