Question

If two forces 6 N and 4 N are acting on the body as shown in the figure. The mass of the object is 2kg. What is the acceleration of the object?

• A. 4 m/s²
• B. 3 m/s²
• C. 2 m/s²
• D. 1 m/s²

Answer 1

The correct option is D

1 m/s²

We know that, $F_{net}=m\times a$

Mass of the object is 2 kg and net force is (6 N – 4 N) = 2 N

Thus, the acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2}{2}=1\frac{m}{s^2}$​
