Find the acceleration of a body with a mass of 5kg moving under the action of a force of 10N.

m = 5 kg.

F = 10 N.

a -?

Let’s formulate 2 Newton’s law: the acceleration of a body a is directly proportional to the force F, which acts on the body, and is inversely proportional to the mass m of this body: a = F / m.

This means that how many times the force F, which acts on the body, decreases, its acceleration a decreases by how many times.

The number of times the body mass m decreases, the number of times its acceleration a will increase.

a = 10 N / 5 kg = 2 m / s2.

Answer: under the action of force, the body will move with acceleration a = 2 m / s2.
