How much force is needed to move a box with an acceleration of [tex]1.5 \, \text{m/s}^2[/tex] and a mass of [tex]50 \, \text{kg}[/tex]?
Answer (3)
Newton's second law of motion: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
If the mass of the block is 50 kg, then the force needed to accelerate it at the rate of 1.5 m/s² is
Force= (50) x (1.5) = 75 newtons
F r = m ∗ a
F r = 50 ∗ 1.5
F r = 75 N
To move a box with a mass of 50 kg and an acceleration of 1.5 m/s², a force of 75 newtons is needed based on Newton's second law of motion. This law states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration. The calculations confirm that the required force is 75 N.
