FORCE
Problem:
» George is pushing a box horizontally on the floor. The box has a mass of 10 kg and as aresult George's force, it accelerates forward with a rate of 2 m/s2. How much force does George apply on this box?
Answer:
- [tex] \color{hotpink}{ \bold{20 \: N}}[/tex]
— — — — — — — — — —
Formula:
- To calculate the force, use formula:
- [tex] \underline{ \boxed{ \tt F = m \times a }}[/tex]
where,
- F is the net Force, measured in Newtons (N)
- m is the mass, measured in kilograms (kg)
- a is the acceleration, measured in meter per second squared (m/s²)
Solution:
Given that mass = 10 kg and acceleration = 2 m/s²... Substitute it to the formula above then solve.
- [tex] \tt F = m \times a \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \tt10 \: kg \times 2 \: m/s² \\ \: \: \: \: \: = \underline{ \boxed{ \blue{\tt{20 \: N}}}}[/tex]
Therefore, the force is 20 Newtons...
