What force gives a mass of 5 kg an acceleration of 9 m/s²?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 45 N
- Step 1: Newton's second law: F = ma. Step 2. F = 5 × 9 = 45 N. Answer: 45 N. Why not the others: 0.556 N is what you get if you divide the mass by the acceleration. 14 N is what you get if you add the numbers. 450 N is what you get if you multiply by g as well.
