Newton's Second Law:
* F = m * a
* F = Force (in Newtons, N)
* m = Mass (in kilograms, kg)
* a = Acceleration (in meters per second squared, m/s²)
Given:
* F = 20 N
* m = 2 kg
Finding Acceleration (a):
1. Rearrange the equation:
a = F / m
2. Substitute the values:
a = 20 N / 2 kg
3. Calculate:
a = 10 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the 2 kg object when a 20 N force is applied is 10 m/s².
