Question

A force of 5 N accelerates an object. The object’s mass is 50 g. What is the acceleration of the object? (Formula: F=ma)

Answer 1

Answer : The acceleration of the object is,
`100m/s^2`

Solution : Given,

Force on an object = 5 N =
`5Kg\text{ m }/s^2`

Mass of an object = 50 g = 0.05 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)

Formula used :

`F=m* a`

where,

F = force applied on an object

m = mass of an object

a = acceleration of an object

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the acceleration of an object.

`5Kg\text{ m }/s^2=(0.05Kg)* a`

`a=100m/s^2`

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is,
`100m/s^2`
