Problema Solution

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the force acting on an object varies directly with the object's acceleration. Suppose that a force of 80N results in an acceleration of 10 m/s2. If the object's acceleration becomes 8 m/s2, what is the force?

Answer provided by our tutors

force is directly proportional to accelaration

F = k*a

80= k*10

k = 80/10 = 8

when a = 8

F = 8*8 = 64N
