A 7.9 kg object undergoes an acceleration of

2 m/s2.
What is the magnitude of the resultant
force acting on it?
Answer in units of N.

F = m A

F = 7.9 * 2 = 15.8 N

To find the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.

The formula for force is:

F = m * a

where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

In this case, the mass of the object (m) is given as 7.9 kg and the acceleration (a) is given as 2 m/s^2.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

F = 7.9 kg * 2 m/s^2

F = 15.8 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the object is 15.8 N.
