  • Calculating Acceleration: Force, Mass, and Newton's Second Law
    Here's how to calculate the acceleration:

    Newton's Second Law of Motion

    Newton's Second Law of Motion states: *Force equals mass times acceleration*

    * F = m * a

    Where:

    * F is the force (in Newtons)

    * m is the mass (in kilograms)

    * a is the acceleration (in meters per second squared)

    Solving for Acceleration

    We can rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration:

    * a = F / m

    Applying the Information

    * F = 10 N

    * m = 1 kg

    Calculation

    * a = 10 N / 1 kg = 10 m/s²

    Answer: The object will accelerate at 10 meters per second squared.
