Simply we use the formula. F = ma. m = 2000 kg and a = 4m/s^2

So force F = 8000 N.

Why is force needed?

Force happens when an object of mass is accelerated, and the equation to calculate force is : force=mass/acceleration


The size of the force needed to produce acceleration of an object is determined by the objects what?

Mass ?


Any acceleration implies the presence of what?

A mass to be accelerated and a force to provide the acceleration.


What force would be needed to produce an acceleration of 1 ms-2 on a ball of mass 1kg?

One Newton would be needed.


Second law of motion?

Second Law of Motion: Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. the greater the mass ( of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed ( to accelerate the object).


What force would be needed to produce an acceleration of 1 ms-2 on a ball of mass 1 kg?

1N


What is acceleration force?

In physics there is no such thing as an "acceleration force". A force however will produce an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law: F=ma, or force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass


How is force related acceleration?

Force is the produce of acceleration and mass. This is expressed in the equation F=ma


What is the relation ship between acceleration and the second law of motion?

Newtons second law tells us that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). This law gives the exact relationship between force, mass, acceleration. This can be expressed as the mathematical equation F= M x A or Force = Mass x Acceleration


What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?

As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.


What is the production of acceleration?

In very general terms, the application of a force will produce an acceleration.


A horizontal force acts a body that is free to move can it produce an acceleration if the force is less then the weight of that body?

Yes it can, and if less force is needed if you eliminate the possibility of friction. You can find many examples of this, but i think this is an excellent opportunity to devise an experiment and practice your scientific methods.
