A force of 10,0 N accelerates an object by 4.0m/s. What force is needed to give the same object an acceleration of 3.6m/s??​

Sagot :

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

The force acting on an object is given by

[tex]\boxed{F = ma}[/tex]

where:

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for m

F = ma

[tex]\dfrac{F}{a} = \dfrac{ma}{a}[/tex]

[tex]m = \dfrac{F}{a}[/tex]

[tex]m = \dfrac{\text{10.0 N}}{\text{4.0 m/}\text{s}^{2}}[/tex]

m = 2.5 kg

Solving for F

F = ma

F = (2.5 kg)(3.6 m/s²)

[tex]\boxed{F = \text{9.0 N}}[/tex]

Therefore, the force needed is 9.0 N.
