How to Calculate Force Applied to an Object

What is the formula to calculate the force applied to an object?

A. F=m.a

B. F= 4.28 N

C. F= 4.28 m/s2

D. F= mass x acceleration

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

When calculating the force applied to an object, we use the formula: force = mass x acceleration.

For example, if a pumpkin with a mass of 2.5 kg is pushed toward a wall with an average acceleration of 10.7 m/s2, we can calculate the force applied to the pumpkin by multiplying the mass and acceleration.

Therefore, force = 2.5 kg x 10.7 m/s2 = 26.75 N.

So, the force applied to the pumpkin to make it move is 26.75 N.
