Question

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

• 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 = $\frac{F}{m}$ = $\frac{2}{2}$ = 1 $\frac{m}{s^2}$​
