A force of 20 N accelerates a 2 kg object. How much force is needed to give the same acceleration to a 20 kg object?
1 Answer
The force required is
Explanation:
Use the formula
F = ma
to solve this problem. In the case of the
"20 N" = "2 kg" xx a
so
a = "10 m/s"^2 -> read this as10 meters per second squared, or10 meters per second every second
Applying the formula again in case of the
F = ma
F = "20 kg" xx "10 m/s"^2
F = "200 N"
