A force of 100 N applied to an object produces an acceleration of 4.00 m/s2. Determine the force needed to give the object an acceleration of 16.0 m/s2

Answer 1

Hi Trinity, let's do this one!

Newton's famous second law states, in math terms: F = MA

Applying to the first case, we have: 100 = M(4.00)

=> M = 100/4 = 25 kg

Now apply the formula to the second case: F = 25 x 16 = 400 Newtons
