Question

An object with a mass of 9.0 kg has an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. The force acting on it is 3 N.

TRUE OR FALSE ?

Answer 1

The given statement is False statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of given object (m) = 9 kg

Acceleration of the object (a) =
`3m/s^2`.

Force acting on it is said to be F =3 N

As per the newton’s second law of motion = Force = mass x acceleration

So calculating with the above data F= (9)(3) = 27 N

But the reported value is 3N which does not match with calculated value as 27N. Therefore it is proved that the above statement is false.

Answer 2

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's law of motion,

Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a)

In this case, mass = 9.0 kg and acceleration =
`3 m/s^(2)`

Hence, F = 9 x 3 which gives 27 N, not 3 N

It is FALSE
