What would be the acceleration of a 2 kg box acted on by a net force of 2 N?
Girlneedinghelp
Newton's first law:
Force = Mass * Acceleration
Rearrange:
Acceleration = Mass/Force
And now to add numbers:
Acceleration = 2 Kg/40N
Cancels down to 1/20
Which gives: 0.05 m/s^2

∙ 12y agoWe know that :
Force=mass*acceleration
acceleration=force/mass
Given data:
mass=2kg
force=2N
To find acceleration:
putting values in the formula,
acceleration=force/mass
a=2N\2Kg
acceleration=1 m/s^2

How many newtons is 3000 pounds?
For an object experiencing a constant net force, Newton's Second Law of Motion can be used to obtain the equationF = ma,where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object due to the net force, F. Rearranging the equation for acceleration and substituting in the mass of the box and the net force acting on it givesa = 900N/300kga = 3ms-2.
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)
A force is exerted on a box and an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box what explains this?
A force is exerted on a box and an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box is an example that explains Newton's second law of motion. It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What must happen in order for motion to occur?
I think there has to be a net force applied to the object in order for it to move. An example would be a box sitting on the ground. There is always gravity acting on the box, pushing it down, but there is also a force called the Normal force, applied by the ground on the box pointing up against gravity. These 2 forces, gravity and normal, cancel each other out perfectly, therefore the box does not move either up or down, it is stationary. Now if a person goes up to one side of the box, and pushes it horizontally, the box may begin to move if the force applied is greater than the friction between the box and the ground (i forget the name of the specific friction involved). As the box moves, there is also a constant friction between the box and the ground that pushes back against the direction of motion of the box. This friction would cause the box to stop moving once the person stops pushing, preventing the box from sliding on forever. ( i know some parts are vague in this, and im open to criticisms and corrections :P )
When the mover pushes the box up the ramp there is friction between the box and the ramp What is the efficiency of the ramp?
It depends on the mass of the box, the force exerted, the total displacement and the height the box was moved.
A box experiences a net force of 41N while it is being lifted.what is the acceleration of the box?
A box experiences a net force of 41N while it is being lifted.what is the acceleration of the box?
What would be easier to move a large empty box or a small heavy box?
an object's acceleration depends on the object's mass and the force applied to it. the lager the force applied to it.
What acceleration will you give a 41.3 kg box if you push it horizontally with a net force of 98.5 N?
Just use Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. In this case, solve for acceleration.
What is the upward force that keeps a box on a table known as?
The upward force is the reaction force of gravity; it is weight, which is mass x acceleration of gravity
A force of 40 north is exerted on a 10-kg box. what is the box's acceleration?
4 meters per second squared
What force is needed to accelerate a box with a mass of 5 kg to an acceleration of 3 ms2?
The force required is 15 Newtons.
What is the net force if a box weighs 35 N with gravity applying that force downward. If you apply 39 N upward force to pick it up?
4 N upward
How much force is required to hold a 12 kg box off the ground?
The force required to hold a 12 kg box off the ground would be equal to the weight of the box, which is calculated by multiplying the mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). Therefore, the force required would be approximately 117.6 newtons.
What causes unbalanced forces?
you are not considering the "hidden" force of friction and/or gravity in your thinking. Example: A box sitting at rest on a floor has balanced forces: no force pushing from any of the four sides Balance force up and down (gravity pulling box down, floor holding it up) Now, someone pushes the box across the floor: Initial push causes and acceleration (going from zero velocity to say 5 mph) Now, if that person maintained the 5 mph speed (no acceleration) of pushing the box then we are back to a balanced force: the pushing on the side of the box = the friction on the bottom of the box. Unbalanced forces can cause an object move from its original position resulting in acceleration because every object in the universe has an internal force [resisting force] in it . when an external force applied on an object increases from that of the internal force of the object then that force is said to be unbalanced force
What are the examples of Isaac Newton's second law of motion?
First, the statement, "When force is applied on a body the body moves in the direction of force with an acceleration that is directly proportional to the (magnitude of) applied force and inversely proportional to the (magnitude of) mass of the body" The very simple example is, Consider two wooden boxes. Suppose b1 is the box with greater masss than b2. Push the box b1 with some force say 10 N. It will move in the direction of force and with some certain acceleration. Now repeat the same i.e. apply same magnitude of force on the other box b2 it will also exhibit some acceleration. You will notice that the accelration produced (for same amount of force) in b2 is greater than b1 which shows that acceleration produced is inversely proportional to the mass of body. Now take two boxes of same mass. And push 1st box with 10N force and the second one with 20N force. You will see that the acceleration produced in second box will be twice the acceleration produced in the first box. Which proves the first part of the statement too. So this is the easiest example that can be stated. And hence the second law of motion is proved.
A box is dragged without acceleration in a straight line across a level surface by a force of 13N what is the frictional force between the box and the surface?
13N. if a=0, the sum of all forces is zero so the force of friction is equal and opposite to the dragging force.
What is the coefficient of friction if a box weighting 150 N with force pullin at a steady rate of 78 N?
This question cannot be answered without knowing the acceleration of the box.
