Question

A net force of 10 N gives an object an acceleration of 5 m/s2. What net force would give the same object an acceleration of 8 m/s2?

Answer 1

`16 N`

Explanation:

You know that force and acceleration are connected through mass, or:
`F=ma`

Here you have:
`10=5m` so that `m=10/5=2 kg`;
Then if you have `a=8 m/(s^2)`
you get:
`F=2*8=16 N`
