How to solve problems of physics? (ii)

What is the force required to produce an acceleration of 2 m/s^2 in a body of mass 5kg?
Answer: Here is the solution to this simple question
From the previous discussion we came to know that
F = ma
Here in the question it is given that
mass = m =5Kg
acceleration = a = 2m/s^2
therefore force F = ma = 5 x 2 = 10 N
I hope this elementary simple example would have helped you understand the application of newton's second law to some extent.

NOTE: The discussion made above are meant only to assist you in getting familiarized with the concepts and in no way can be used as reference for you classroom work. You should always refer to standard text books available.

I will be coming up with a little more complex problem the next time.
