Answer the following based on Newton's Second Law:

How much net force is required to accelerate a 12 kg mass at 3 m/s^2? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

F=m*a

F=12 kg*3 m/s^2=26 N

What would be the acceleration of a 4 kg mass subject to a net force of 20 Newtons? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

a=20 N/4 kg=5 m/s^2

If you exert a force of 20 Newtons on a 10-kg object and it accelerates in the direction of your force at 1.5 m/s^2, then how do you know there are other forces acting on the object besides your own? 

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

If we solve for a based on the force and weight we are given we find:

a=20 N/10 kg=2 m/s^2

We calculated 2 m/s^2 and we were given 1.5 m/s^2

Therefore, there is an opposing force

What is the total of all those forces and in what direction does this total act?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

 If I am pushing with a force of 20 N and the acceleration of the object is 1.5 m/s^s, then we can figure out that the opposing force is -5 N because:

20 N + (-5N) = 15 N

Fnet = 15N
