A 5 kg object is accelerating at 2 m/s². The net force acting on it is:
A2.5 N, computed as mass divided by acceleration
B7 N, computed as mass plus acceleration
C10 N, computed as F = ma
D20 N, computed as 2 × m × a
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 10 N, computed as F = ma
By Newton's Second Law, F = ma = 5 × 2 = 10 N.
