what force is needed to accelerate a 2-kg mass at 1 m/sec/sec?

Question

use the equation f = m x a to answer question.

(force = mass x acceleration)

Answer 1

You have the formula correct,
Newtons 2nd law: Force = mass * Acceleration

You are given the values for mass (2 kg) and acceleration (1 m/s^2), you just need to plug into the equation.

Force = 2 kg * 1 m/s^2
Force = 2 kg m/s^2
Force = 2 Newtons
