An object with a mass of 6 kg accelerates 12 m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of the Force?

Question

2 N

72 N

66 N

6 N

Answer 1

To find the force applied to the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = m \cdot a \), where \( F \) is the force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration.

Given:

• Mass (\( m \)) = 6 kg
• Acceleration (\( a \)) = 12 m/s²

Now, we can calculate the force:

\[ F = m \cdot a = 6 , \text{kg} \cdot 12 , \text{m/s}^2 = 72 , \text{N} \]

The amount of force applied is 72 N.
