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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
12 kg * 3m/s^2 = Fnet
Fnet = 36 Newtons
#$&*
• What would be the acceleration of a 4 kg mass subject to a net force of 20 Newtons?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
20N = 4 kg * a
20N / 4 kg = 5m/s^2
a = 5m/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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
a = Fnet / m
a = 20N / 10 kg
a = 2 m/s^2
I know there are other forces acting on the object besides my own because the calculations show that the object should be moving at an acceleration of 2m/s^2. Since it is only moving at 1.5m/s^2, then there is an opposing force acting upon the object.

• 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 1.5m/s^2, then we can figure out that the opposing force is -5N because
20N + (-5N) = 15N
Fnet = 15N
