Question:

A force causes an acceleration of 10m/$s^2$ in a body of mass 500 gm. What acceleration will be caused by the same force in a body of mass 5kg?

Options:

1 m/$s^2$

0.5 m/$s^2$

2 m/$s^2$

1.5 m/$s^2$

Correct Answer:

1 m/$s^2$

Explanation:

m = 500 gm = 0.5 Kg

a = 10 m/$s^2$

Net force = ma = 5 N

If this force is applied on 5 Kg body then its acceleration will be

a = $\frac{5N}{5Kg}$ = 1 m/$s^2$
