A 5kg object is accelerating at the rate of 2 m/s2. What is force acting on the object?

Question

what is the net force?

Answer 1

force  = mass * acceleration

= 5 * 2

=10 N

Answer 2

F = mx a

=5 x 2

- 10 N

Answer 3

It is impossible to say, you can only make a statement about the NET force.

Answer 4

F = ma = 5kg*2m/s^2 = 10 Newtons is the force acting on the object
