. An object has a mass of 13.5 kilograms. What force is required to accelerate it to a rate of 9.5 m/s2? A. 128.25 N B. 173.75 N C. 81.00 N D. 132.30 N
It will require 128.25 newtons to accelerate it. use newtons 2nd law (F=ma)
Answer:
Option A is correct
The force is required is 128.25 N
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: mass of an object (m) = 13.5 kilogram and acceleration (a) = 9.5 \(m/s^2\)
To find the force required;
According to Newton's second Law:
Net Force= mass times acceleration i.e F = ma
Using second law, and substitute the given values above we have;
\(F = 13.5 \times 9.5 =128.25 kg m/s^2\)
We know that 1 Newton = \(kg m/s^2\)
therefore; the force is required is, 128.25 N
