25 points! A 6 kg object accelerates from 5 m•s to 25 m•s in 30 seconds. What was the net force acting on the
object? Give your answer in Newtons to one significant figure and without a unit.

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object  = 6kg

Initial velocity  = 5m/s

Final velocity  = 25m/s

Time  = 30s

Unknown:

Net force acting on the object  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

   Force  = mass x acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time

  Acceleration  =  

  Force  = mass x    

So;

 Force  = 6 x    = 6N
