Question

a force of 5 n accelerates an object. the objects mass is 50 g. what is the acceleration of the object? (formula: f=ma) 0.01 m/s² 0.1 m/s² 10 m/s² 100 m/s²

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mass to kg

$50\ \text{g} = \frac{50}{1000}\ \text{kg} = 0.05\ \text{kg}$

Step2: Rearrange formula for acceleration

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

Step3: Substitute values and calculate

$a = \frac{5\ \text{N}}{0.05\ \text{kg}} = 100\ \text{m/s}^2$

Answer:

D. 100 m/s²
