If you exert a net force of 8 N on a 2-kg object, the acceleration of the object would be [tex]4 m / s^{2}[/tex].
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
According to Newton second law, it states the relation between mass and the force required to accelerate the object. The mathematical expression can be given as follows,
[tex]\text {Force}=\text {mass} \times \text {accelaration}[/tex]
The above expression shows that exerted force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.
Where, in the given problem given the data as,
Force, F= 8 N
Mass, m = 2 kg
So, we can write the above equation as,
[tex]\text {Acceleration, } a=\frac{F}{m}[/tex]
By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get,
[tex]\text {acceleration, } a=\frac{8}{2}=4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration of the object would be [tex]4 m / s^{2}[/tex].
