A net force of 10 N gives an object an acceleration of 5 m/s². What net force would give the same object an acceleration of 1 m/s²? A) 1 N B) 2 N C) 5 N D) 50 N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force and acceleration are directly proportional, so if the acceleration is decreased to 1/5 of the original acceleration, the force must also be decreased by the same factor (1/5). 10 N/5 = 2 N.
