* Force is not inherent to an object's mass. Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate.
* Newton's Second Law: The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is defined by Newton's Second Law: Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
To calculate the force, you need the object's acceleration:
* Example 1: If the 3 kg object is accelerating at 2 m/s², the force exerted would be:
* F = 3 kg * 2 m/s² = 6 Newtons (N)
* Example 2: If the object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity (no acceleration), the force exerted is 0 N.
In summary: To find the force exerted by a 3 kg object, you need to know its acceleration.
