A net force of 8 N is applied to a 2 kg object. The object's acceleration is A) 4 m/s² B) 8 m/s² C) 16 m/s² D) 2 m/s²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, $F = ma$, where $F$ is the force applied, $m$ is the mass of the object, and $a$ is the acceleration. Substituting the given values, $8 \, \text{N} = 2 \, \text{kg} \cdot a$, solving for $a$ gives $a = 4 \, \text{m/s}^2$.
