If we apply 100 N force on 10 kg box then its acceleration is:
Correct answer: C. 10 m/s^2
- A. 20 m/s^2
- B. 5 m/s^2
- C. 10 m/s^2
- D. 40 m/s^2
Explanation
F=ma according to Newton's first law, so F/a (100/10) gives 10 which is the value for acceleration (a). We can use the formula F = m * a to find the acceleration (a) of an object with mass m that is experiencing a force F. Rearranging the formula, we get: a = F / m Plugging in the given values, we get: a = 100 N / 10 kg a = 10 m/s^2 Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 10 m/s^2.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
