A force of 5 N accelerates an object. The object’s mass is 50 g. What is the acceleration of the object? (Formula: F=ma)
Answer : The acceleration of the object is, \(100m/s^2\)
Solution : Given,
Force on an object = 5 N = \(5Kg\text{ m }/s^2\)
Mass of an object = 50 g = 0.05 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)
Formula used :
\(F=m\times a\)
where,
F = force applied on an object
m = mass of an object
a = acceleration of an object
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the acceleration of an object.
\(5Kg\text{ m }/s^2=(0.05Kg)\times a\)
\(a=100m/s^2\)
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is, \(100m/s^2\)
