Question

An unbalanced force of 10. newtons is applied to an object of mass 4.0 kilograms. The acceleration of the object, in m/s2 to the nearest tenth is . (Don't include units on your answer)

Answer 1

The acceleration of the object can be found using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration:

Force = mass * acceleration

Rearranging the equation, we can solve for acceleration:

Acceleration = Force / mass

Acceleration = 10 N / 4.0 kg

Acceleration ≈ 2.5 m/s2 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
