Question

An object has a mass of 10 kg and it is accelerating at a rate of 12 m/s2. What is the net force causing this acceleration?

100 N
O 120 N
0 140 N
O 160 N

Answer 1

net force causing acceleration is 120N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 10kg

Acceleration = 12m/s²

Unknown:

Net force of this acceleration = ?

Solution:

According to newtons second law of motion;

Force = mass x acceleration

Sine the unknown is the net force, input the parameters and solve for it;

Force = 10 x 12 = 120N

The net force causing acceleration is 120N
