Under the action of a force of 10 N, the body receives an acceleration of 5 m / s2. What is body weight?

The formula connecting the quantities we need is F = ma, where F is the force acting on the body, m is the mass of the body, a is the acceleration received by the body under the action of the force.

Let’s substitute the values we know into this formula.

We get – 10 n = m * 5 m / s².

Hence – m = 10 n / 5 m / s² = 2 kg (remember that the dimension newton means (kg * m) / s²).

Answer: the required body weight is 2 kg.
