1 m/s2 because Force = mass * acceleration, therefore acceleration = Force/ mass.

20 N / 20 kg = 1 m/s2

Known:

F = 20N

m = 20kg

Equation:

F = ma

Solution:

a = F/m = 20N/20kg = 1m/s2

What acceleration will a force of 20 newtons cause if applied to a go kart with mass of 20 kilograms?

Please use Newton's Second Law for this. F=ma, or a=F/m.


How does Newton's Third Law relate to a rollercoaster?

Newton's second law (Force equals mass times acceleration, F = ma) deals with acceleration so it "takes effect" every time that the roller coaster speeds up, slows down or turns (horizontally or vertically).Basically Newton's second law just says that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Or, in other words, the harder you push the faster it speeds up and the bigger it is the slower it speeds up (or slows down - deceleration is an acceleration).This means that in your roller coaster example, the object is the roller coaster and the force can be: The motors that start the coaster and lift it up hills. The brakes that slow it down. Gravity which pulls it down the hills. The rails and wheels which cause the roller coaster to turn around bends, etc. At each of these points, Newton's second law is at play, determining how much acceleration will result from the force applied to the roller coaster's mass.


How does the concept of Acceleration affect newtons 2 law?

Newton's second law of motion provides an explanation for the behavior of objects when forces are applied to the objects. The law states that external forces cause objects to accelerate, and the amount ofaccelerationis directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.


What describes the effects of forces on an object?

Isaac Newton defines force as mass times acceleration.


Can Timing cause poor Acceleration?

Yes timing can delay your acceleration

How pressure is dependent on acceleration due to gravity?

Acceleration due to gravity is related to the gravitational force (or, more accurately, the gravitational field). This field causes an acceleration of 9.8 meters/second2. This is equivalent to 9.8 newton/kilogram, that is, every kilogram of mass is subject to a force of 9.8 newton. The gravitational field is often expressed in acceleration units, but the two are really equivalent: a net force of 9.8 newton, applied to a mass of 1 kilogram, will cause that much acceleration.


What accelerate a force of 100 newtons cause if applied to a motorcycle with mass of 50 kilogram?

Acceleration is 2m/s^2


How is newton related to acceleration and velocity?

The Newton is the unit for force. An unbalanced force is required to cause acceleration, which is a change in velocity.


An object accelerates at 3 meters per second when a 10 newton force is applied to it What force would cause this object to accelerate at 6 meters per second?

A 20-newton force would cause acceleration at 6 m/sec The acceleration is given by the formula F=ma (Force = mass x acceleration) so for the same mass, doubling the force doubles the acceleration for the same mass.


What acceleration will a force of 20 newtons cause if applied to a go kart with mass of 20 kilograms?

Please use Newton's Second Law for this. F=ma, or a=F/m.


What do unbalanced forces cause according to Newton's Formula?

Unbalanced forces cause acceleration.


Exerting a force on an object causes it?

What changes as a result of an applied force?

Which acceleratoin will force of 20 newtons cause if applied to a go-kart with a mass of 20 kilograms?

What is acceleration


What forces cause acceleration?

A layman's attempt: Any unbalanced force applied over time to an object that is free to move will bring about acceleration.


What acceleration will a force of 100 newtons cause if applied to a motorcycle with a mass of 50 kilograms?

Please use Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass. With the units you are using, the answer will be in meters per second squared.
