Answer:
The acceleration of the object is 0.5 m/s²
a is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of object = 5.0 kg
Acceleration [tex]a = 2.0 m/s^2[/tex]
Using newton's second law
The force is the product of the mass of the object and acceleration.
[tex]F = ma[/tex]
Put the value of m and a
[tex]F = 5.0\times2.0[/tex]
[tex]F = 10\ N[/tex]
Now, The same force would give a 20 kg object
So, Using newton's second law again
[tex]F = ma[/tex]
The acceleration is
[tex]a =\dfrac{F}{m}[/tex]
Put the value of m and F
[tex]a = \dfrac{10}{20}[/tex]
[tex]a =0.5 m/s^2[/tex]
Hence, The acceleration of the object is 0.5 m/s²
