Given Information:
Mass = m = 500 kg
Acceleration = a = 10 cm/s²
Required Information:
Magnitude of rightward net force = F = ?
Answer:
Magnitude of rightward net force = 50 N
Explanation:
From the Newton's second law of motion
F = ma
Where m is the mass and a is the acceleration
To get force in Newtons first convert 10 cm/s² into m/s²
10/100 = 0.1 m/s²
F = 500*0.1
F = 50 N
Therefore, the magnitude of rightward net force acting on it is 50 Newtons.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of object is 500kg
m=500kg
The body accelerates at 10cm/s2
What is the magnitude of force?
The magnitude of force that push or pull a body of mass and causes it to change velocity i.e accelerate
The force is given as
Force= mass × acceleration
F=ma
The unit of mass(m) is kg
The unit of acceleration (a) is m/s²
The unit of Force(F) is Newton
So in the question given the acceleration is in cm/s², so we need to convert it to m/s
So, 1m=100cm
Then, 10cm/s²= 10cm/s² × 1m/100cm
So, a=0.1m/s²
Then applying the formula
F = ma
F = 500 × 0.1
F = 50 newton
The magnitude of force pushing the body forward is F = 50N
