Question

A force of 20 N is applied to a 10 kg mass on a level frictionless surface. What is its acceleration?

Answer 1

`10m/s^2`

Explanation:

According to Newton's Second law of Motion
Relation between force and Acceleration of Mass m

`F=ma`

Given that
`m=10 kg`
Force applied on mass `=20 N`

Here Assuming that surface is frictionless.

Hence Acceleration `a=F/m=20/10=10m/s^2`
