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 SI unit

The mass $m = 50\ g=0.05\ kg$ (since $1\ kg = 1000\ g$).

Step2: Rearrange the formula

From $F = ma$, we can solve for $a$ as $a=\frac{F}{m}$.

Step3: Substitute values

Substitute $F = 5\ N$ and $m = 0.05\ kg$ into the formula: $a=\frac{5}{0.05}=100\ m/s^{2}$.

Answer:

D. $100\ m/s^{2}$
