If you put a force of 10 n on an object and the object has the mass of 5 kg what will the acceleration of that object be?

If operating in free space, the speed of the object will be constant. If not operating in free space, but under the effects of gravity, then apply gravitational formulas to find the answer.

How are Force Acceleration and Mass related?
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
2nd law of newton?
The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased. To put it as it is often put: Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma): the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
What affects the rate of acceleration of an object?
The net or vector sum of all forces acting on it, in conjunction with the object's mass. Which is correct, but to put it more simply, acceleration is force per unit of mass (a=f/m)
Is acceleration directly proportional to mass?
Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. Net force is equal to the mass times acceleration, taking this into consideration we can clearly see that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.By Armah Ishmael Ryesa
What is newtons 2nd law of motion?
The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.Acceleration= net force divided by mass.
Can force stop motion?
if you put force on an object, in the opposite way it is moving. force makes an object with mass accelerate. if the force you put accelerates it enough it will stop spontaneously, or else it will stop slowly. if that first type of motion was created by force, and i mean the force is still forcing the object to move, then u have to put more force to the object in the opposite direction in order to stop it. F= m*a where F = force , m= mass , a= acceleration hope u got ur answer
How do you convert from mass to distance?
With extreme difficultly as they measure different things: mass is a measure of how much something weighs*, whereas length is a measure of distance. * Actually weight is the force on a mass due to acceleration and is measured in Newtons. However, weight and mass are often, incorrectly, used interchangeably and I cannot think of a better word to describe mass. To further muddy the waters, mass and distance ARE related by energy and acceleration: energy = (mass × acceleration) × distance which can be rearranged to distance = energy ÷ (mass × acceleration) So for an object given a mass, an acceleration (on earth acceleration due to gravity is a good one) and an amount of energy put in, the distance the object is moved (by that energy [in acting as a force]) can be calculated.
When force is proportional to mass and acceleration why do you say force is proportional to mass multiplied by acceleration why not mass plus acceleration and so on?
By definition, if two things are proportional to one and other, they are connected by a multiplying constant. If F = m + a you would simple say F is a bigger than m and it would also require that force, mass and acceleration all shared the same dimensions and units. Clearly mass is a scalar and force and acceleration are vectors, so that is not the case. Also, if they shared the same dimensions, they would effectively be the same thing so F = m + a would be the same as F(total) = F(1) + F(2) which wouldn't tell us very much about the laws of physics at all. Also, you don't say force is proportional to mass times acceleration (it's EQUAL to mass times acceleration). It's either force is proportional to mass (in which case acceleration is the factor of proportionality) or force is proportional to acceleration (in which case it is mass).
How does gravitational force affect acceleration?
The force of gravity causes objects to accelerate (speed up) when they fall. This is because of newtons law F=MA force equals mass times acceleration, meaning when you put a force such as gravity on a mass it will accelerate the mass
What is the acceleration of a ball with a mass of 8 kg that is hit by a tennis raquet with a force of 12 N?
F = ma, or Force = mass x acceleration. We can put this into an equation. 12 N force = 8 kg mass x unknown acceleration. To get the unknown acceleration by itself, we divide both sides by 8. This leaves us with 1.5 = a. Acceleration is 1.5 ms-2
How is acceleration affected by force?
the more force u put on an object the faster it goes 4 example, if a little girl pushes a wagon with a bolder in it it wont go the far but if a full grow man pushed it it would go father because there will b more force.
What is the acceleration produced by some force pushing or pulling on something?
Remember Newton's Second Law of Universal Dynamics. Put into algebraic form it is F = ma To answer your question a = F/m Acceleration is equal to force(F) divided by mass(m) of the object being pushed/[pulled.
