A net force of 40 N south acts on an object with a mass of 20 kg. What is the object's acceleration?
(Hint: Use the formula a = f/m

A. a = 4 m/s 2 north
B. a = 2 m/s2 south
C. a = 10 m/s2 south
D. a = 20 m/s 2 north

B. 2m/s² south

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Net force  = 40N

Mass  = 20kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the object = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use;

            F = ma

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

          a  =  

          a =   = 2m/s²

The acceleration of the object is 2m/s² south

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
