Question

How much force is exerted if a 250 kg object has an acceleration of 750 m/s2 ?

Question 9 options:

0.33 N


187,500 N


3 N


none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B which is 187,500 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the second law of motion, if a considerable amount of force is exerted on an object of mass,it will produce acceleration in the object.

F = ma.

By putting values from question in the above formula:

F = 250 kg × 750 m/s2

F = 187,500 Kg.m/s2.

Kg.m/s2 is equal to 1 newton which is the unit of force.

Hence the correct option is B which is 187,500 N.

Answer 2

Use Newton’s second law: F=ma
m= 250kg. a= 750ms-2
F= 250 x 750 = 187 500N
