Question

What is the resultant force acting on a 500 g object accelerating at 5m/s²?​

Answer 1

• 2.5 Newtons

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, we have

Mass = 500 kg = 0.5 kg

Acceleration = 5 m/s²

From Newton's second law of motion,

• Force = mass × acceleration

Plugging the values,

• Force = 0.5 × 5
• Force = 2.5 N

Hence the resultant force acting on the object is 2.5 Newtons
