Question

A force of 5N acts on a body of weight 10 N, then the acceleration produced by it is ( take g = 10 $m/s^2$)

• A. 2 $m/s^2$
• B. 5 $m/s^2$
• C. 0.5 $m/s^2$
• D. 50 $m/s^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5 $m/s^2$

Force = mass * acceleration

Weight= mass * gravity

$10N$= mass $\times$ 10m/s${}^2$

mass = $1Kg$

So,

F=ma

$5=1\times a$

$a=5m/s^2$

So, the correct answer is "$5m/s^2$"
