Explanation:
so we have
Explanation:
You have the right equation down
#color(blue)(ul(color(black)(F = m* a)))#
Here
#F# is the force that acts on the object#m# is the mass of the object#a# is the acceleration of the object
What this equation tells you is that a net force
In other words, the only way an object can have an acceleration is if an unbalanced force acts on it.
If all the forces that act on an object cancel out or if no force acts on the object, then the object's acceleration will be equal to
In your case, the unbalanced force is equal to
#F = m * a implies a = F/m#
Now, you need to be aware of the fact that
#color(blue)(ul(color(black)("1 N" = 1color(white)(.)"kg m s"^(-2))))#
This means that your force is equal to
#"5 N" = 5color(white)(.)"kg m s"^(-2)#
Now you're ready to plug in your values
#a = (5 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("kg"))) "m s"^(-2))/(10color(red)(cancel(color(black)("kg")))) = color(darkgreen)(ul(color(black)("0.5 m s"^(-2))))#
This means that for every passing second that you act with a force of
