Problem 9 - Entrance Test

If a force of 10 N is applied to an object with a mass of 2 kg, what is the object's acceleration?

A. 2 m/s²B. 5 m/s²C. 10 m/s²D. 20 m/s²

Correct: B

According to Newton's second law (F = ma), acceleration (a) = Force (F) / mass (m). Therefore, a = 10 N / 2 kg = 5 m/s².
