What Net Force is necessary to give a 2.0 kg mass initially at rest an acceleration of 5.0 m/s^2?
netforce= mass*acceleration
To find the net force required to give a 2.0 kg mass an acceleration of 5.0 m/s^2, we can use Newton's second law of motion:
F = m × a
Where:
F is the net force (in newtons)
m is the mass (in kilograms)
a is the acceleration (in meters per second squared)
In this case, we have:
m = 2.0 kg (mass)
a = 5.0 m/s^2 (acceleration)
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
F = (2.0 kg) × (5.0 m/s^2)
F = 10.0 kg·m/s^2 (newton)
Therefore, the net force required is 10.0 newtons.
