Question

A5 kg object is accelerating at 3 m/s2 while being pulled. What is the magnitude of the force causing this acceleration?

Answer 1

The magnitude of the force causing this acceleration is 15 N

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

F=ma: According to the newton's second law

F - force acting on the object

m - mass of the object

a - acceleration

Newton's second law states that acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of the object.

Force is directly proportional to acceleration and mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.

here,

m = 5 kg

a = 3 m/s2

`F = m * a\\F = 5 * 3\\F = 15 N`
