Question

Find the acceleration produced by a force of 5 N acting on a mass of 10 kg.

Answer 1

We know that:
Force = mass × acceleration
= m × a
Here, mass, m = 10 kg
force, F = 5 N
Putting these values in the above formula, we get:
5 N = 10 × acceleration
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \mathrm{acceleration}=\frac{5}{10} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{accleration}=0.5\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2 \end{gathered}$$
