An unbalanced force of 10. newtons is applied to an object of mass 4.0 kilograms. The acceleration of the object, in m/s2 to the nearest tenth is . (Don't include units on your answer)
The acceleration of an object can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion:
Acceleration = Force / Mass
In this case, the force is 10 Newtons and the mass is 4.0 kilograms:
Acceleration = 10 N / 4.0 kg
Acceleration = 2.5 m/s2 (to the nearest tenth)
