According to Newton's Second Law, F=ma, just divide the force by the mass. Since you are using SI units, the result will be in m/(sec square).

Force = Mass * acceleration

so putting the values in and solving for acceleration yields a value of 0.5 ms-2 for the acceleration.

Use Newton's Second Law: F=ma. Solving for acceleration gives you: a = F/m (acceleration = force / mass). Since you are using SI units, the acceleration will be in meters/second2.

How much force is needed to hold up a 20kg bag of sand?

About 20kg of force.


Object has a mass of 20 kg what is the force of gravity acting on it on earth?

F=ma mass of object = 20kg acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2 F=20*9.81 F=196.2 kgm/s^2 or 196.2 N


If an object with a mass of 20kg is lying on the floor of a lift and the lift accelerates downwards at 4ms calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the floor of the lift on the object?

The answer would be 80kg/ms or 80N because: force= mass x acceleration = 20kg x 4ms =80kg/ms =80N


What is the weight of body of mass 20kg on earth?

On Earth, 20kg is 196 newtons or 44.1 lbs.


What acceleration will a 20 newton force cause if applied to a go kart waith a 20 kilogram mass?

1 m/s2 because Force = mass * acceleration, therefore acceleration = Force/ mass. 20 N / 20 kg = 1 m/s2

Can a soda can hold a cinder block?

you mean will it not squish under load? I would say so, it takes alot of force to squash a can (about 20kg+) and Im sure a block like this weighs alot less.


If an object had a mass of 20kg what is the force of gravity acting on it on earth?

If an object with a mass of 20 kg is on the surface of the earth or near it, then the object and the earth are attracting each other with a force of 196 newtons (44.1 pounds).


What is the gravitational force between a mass of 20kg and a mass of 100kg that are 15 meters apart?

The gravitational force between a mass of 20kg and a mass of 100kg that are 15 meters apart is:F = 5.9326933333333E-10


What is the acceleration of a wagon of mass 20kg if a horizontal force of 64 newtons is applied to it?

The acceleration is 3.2 meters per second squared.


What is the weight of 20 kg in object in Newtons?

20kg on earth has a force of 196N


If an object has a mass of 20 kg what is the force of gravity acting on it on earth?

Force is equal to mass times acceleration, in this case the acceleration due to gravity. Gravity has an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared, so the total force is 196 Newton's. (1 Newton = 1 kg meter per second squared)
