11/16 Calculate Acceleration (2) ways An object with a mass of 3.0 kg accelerates 2.0m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it.What is the amount of the force? square

To calculate the force applied to the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force applied to an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.<br /><br />The formula for calculating force is:<br /><br />\[ F = m \cdot a \]<br /><br />Where:<br />- \( F \) is the force applied to the object (in Newtons, N)<br />- \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kilograms, kg)<br />- \( a \) is the acceleration of the object (in meters per second squared, m/s²)<br /><br />Given:<br />- Mass of the object, \( m = 3.0 \) kg<br />- Acceleration of the object, \( a = 2.0 \) m/s²<br /><br />Substitute the given values into the formula:<br /><br />\[ F = 3.0 \, \text{kg} \times 2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]<br /><br />\[ F = 6.0 \, \text{N} \]<br /><br />Therefore, the amount of the force applied to the object is \( 6.0 \) Newtons (N).
