Question

What is the net force on an object with a mass of 2.5 kg if it accelerates at 6.4 m/s^2 when pushed?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

16 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The force is given by the multiplication of the mass and the acceleration, like this:

$\begin{gathered} f=m\cdot a \\ m=2.5\text{ kg} \\ a=6.4\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

We repalce and calculate the force, like this:

$\begin{gathered} f=2.5\cdot6.4 \\ f=16\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

The force is 16 newtons
