An object has a mass of 10 kg. when a net force of 40 n north acts on the object, what is it’s acceleration ?

4m/s² north.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Mass (m) = 10Kg

Force (F) = 40N North.

Acceleration (a) =...?

Force is simply the product of mass and acceleration. It is represented mathematically as:

Force (F) = Mass (m) x acceleration (a)

F = ma

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the object as follow:

40 = 10 x a

Divide both side by 10

a = 40/10

a = 4m/s²

Since the force was applied in the north direction, the object will also accelerate in the north direction. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4m/s² north.
