_____
6. What is the acceleration in m/s2 of an object if the force on the object is 7526 Newtons and the mass of the object is 2.5 kg?
_____
Let's look at the First One
Since Force = Mass x Acceleration ( F = ma) you can substitute the values given to get
F = 2.6KG x 1520 m/sec^2 = 3952 N Now do you see? You should be able to do the rest of the problems.
A kg-m/s^2 is a Newton Make sure all of your units are in kg and m/s^2 to get the correct number of Newtons !
Use these formulas: Force=Mass X Accelerarion. or Mass=Force/Acceleration. Acceleration=Force/Mass.
