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 an object can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion:

Acceleration = Force / Mass

In this case, the force is 10 Newtons and the mass is 4.0 kilograms:

Acceleration = 10 N / 4.0 kg

Acceleration = 2.5 m/s2 (to the nearest tenth)
