F= ma (Newton's 2nd Law)

40 N= 20 kg x acceleration

(Nb: 1 N= 1 kgm/ s^2)

acceleration= 2 m/s^2

What is a force and is measured in newtons?

The measure of a force acting on a body is the mass of the body multiplied by its acceleration in the direction of the applied force.


What is newtons second of motion?

Acceleration is proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass


What is Newton's 2nd law?

Newtons second law states that the acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied to it.


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

Acceleration is 2m/s^2


What does newtons 2nd law state?

Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m


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

What is acceleration


What force of 2.0 kg mass and acceleration of 5.0 MS's on a level surface what is the force applied to the mass?

Force = Mass x Acceleration Force = 5 x 2 Force = 10N (Newtons)


Plot the graph of force vs acceleration?

Acceleration is directly proportional to applied force.  When acceleration increases, force also increases.  If the force is tripled, the acceleration will also be tripled.  Note that the mass must remain constant...


A horizontal force of 100 N pushes a box across a floor at a constant speed. what is the force of friction acting on the box?

If the horizontal velocity is constant, then the horizontal acceleration is zero,and the net horizontal force is zero.But if you are saying that the body was in constant motion and after that the force was applied, then the body will acccelerate because of the force. The net force applied on the body would be equal to the force applied to it when the body was in constant motion as here the force is in direction of the motion and hence the angle will be 0 giving the value of cos 0º as 1. Hence there would be no reduction in the net force


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

Acceleration is 2m/s^2


What is Newtons equal to?

Force (newtons) = mass x acceleration


How do Newtons work?

It's just the measure of the amount of force that is applied to an object. Fnet = ma where m=mass and a=acceleration Fweight = acceleration due to gravity*mass
