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 as#10# meters per second squared, or#10# 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"#
